Fan-Friendly NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion’s Week Set For Las Vegas Return

* Series’ Awards Ceremony Returns To Wynn Las Vegas
* Popular Victory Lap On Famous Vegas Strip Again Planned
* NASCAR NMPA Myers Brothers Awards Luncheon To Be Showcased At Bellagio

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Sept. 1, 2010) – A safe bet: Las Vegas is a perfect setting for the high-energy, fan-friendly activities encompassing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion’s Week, a postseason celebration that showcases the nation’s No. 1 form of motorsports while also honoring its top driver – and its ultra-loyal fan base.

Following last season’s successful debut of Champion’s Week in Las Vegas, NASCAR is bringing the party back in December, capped by the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards Ceremony, scheduled for Friday, Dec. 3 at one of the city’s premier resorts, Wynn Las Vegas. SPEED will once again provide same day coverage. Other details regarding the event, such as entertainment planned, will be announced in the near future.

The ceremony will culminate several days of whirlwind activity involving not only the series champion, but also the other drivers who finished in the top 12 of the series’ final standings and qualified for NASCAR’s “playoffs” – the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.

NASCAR moved postseason activities for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series to Las Vegas last year after a 28-year run in New York City. The Las Vegas community responded – and so did the thousands of fans who flocked to catch a glimpse of stock car racing’s biggest stars. Some especially lucky fans got some up-close looks, as guests at the awards show. It marked the first time fans were able to attend.

“That was a huge success and really personified what we’re trying to do in Las Vegas – take our champion and our other top drivers directly to the fans,” said NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France. “Overall, we wanted to reenergize Champion’s Week with lots of fan involvement and Las Vegas was just what we needed to make that happen.”

For the second consecutive year, fans will join drivers, team owners and industry leaders in celebrating the NASCAR Sprint Cup champion at the awards ceremony. Approximately 300 tickets are available to fans, which are being distributed by tracks, NASCAR partners and teams through various fan promotions. Fan tickets will offer fans the following Champion’s Week experiences:
