Its already widespread news that there were more than 18,000 entries in the “Tame the Name” sweepstakes to name the new Pontiac G8 Sport Truck. As part of the contest, one person would be chosen at random, regardless of the name they entered, to win a new G8 ST.
Not nearly as widespread as the number of entries is the name of the grand prizer winner of a 2010 Pontiac G8 ST. A big congratulations goes out to Joseph Warren of Waynesville, NC, the grand prize winner of a new G8 Sport Truck which will his dealer showrooms in time for the 2010 model year.
How did G8Nation obtain this nugget of information? We first saw it reported at HighPerformancePontiac.com, and did further searching on the name of the grand prize winner and came across a post from ”CarTruck2010″ of G8Board.com.
As one of the 10,000 entries, he was as anxious as the rest of us to find out who won. So CarTruck2010 took the initiative to e-mail the content promoters and get the details. Here’s what he had to say:
“Well, I received this e-mail a few days ago and apparently Joseph Warren from Waynesville, NC is the Grand Prize Winner. They didn’t say anything about the winning name for the truck. However, I also happened to read the contest rules earlier and it said that the winner would be chosen at random. See the official e-mail below.”
Here’s the official e-mail:
Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding the Pontiac Tame The Name Sweepstakes.
Grand Prize Winner (1):
Joseph Warren (Waynesville, NC)

“While 10,000 different names were submitted, there’s no tally on just how many people submitted duplicate names. Even though we know the winner of the G8 ST, but don’t expect the winning name of the G8 ST moniker to be revealed until the end of May at the earliest”, says Pontiac spokesman Jim Hopson.
“I can confirm, however, that one of the names is El Camino,” Hopson said.
Keep your eyes peeled here to find out the new name in May.
