All-New 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Soars to New Heights with Discovery Channel's SKYWIRE LIVE With Nik Wallenda Sweepstakes

June 10, 2013 by Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) announces today its role as exclusive presenting automotive sponsor for the live broadcast of SKYWIRE LIVE with Nik Wallenda airing live at 8:00 pm Eastern/5:00 pm Pacific, Sunday, June 23, 2013 on the Discovery Channel.

This dramatic live television spectacle airing in nearly 200 countries stars a seventh-generation member of the world-famous Flying Wallendas family, Nik Wallenda. The 34-year-old will traverse the majestic Grand Canyon without using a harness at 1,500 feet above the Little Colorado River, a height greater than the Empire State Building. The tightrope crossing will take place in a remote section of the canyon operated by the Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation. Wallenda holds numerous high wire act world records, including one for the longest and highest bike ride on a high wire. On June 15, 2012, this gravity-defying high wire artist became the first person to walk a tightrope crossing directly over Niagara Falls.

One lucky viewer will have the chance to win a brand-new 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander (arriving in dealerships this month) in SKYWIRE Sweepstakes running until 9:00 PM ET on June 23, 2013. To enter, visit skywire.discovery.com/#sweeps to access the sweepstakes entry form.
