Las
Vegas Motor Speedway will kick off NASCAR Champion’s Week in Las Vegas with a
fanfest at the Fremont Street Experience on Wednesday, Dec. 4. This will be the
first event involving the 12 Chase drivers during this year’s celebration of
the NASCAR Sprint Cup champion. The event is free to the public.
The highlight of the event will be a Deal or
No Deal-type show involving the 12 Chase drivers.
“The
fanfest has become one of the top highlights of NASCAR Champion’s Week,” said
LVMS president Chris Powell. “This downtown event allows fans to get close to
the drivers, and gives them an opportunity to see the drivers in a much more
laid-back environment without their fire suits and helmets. This is one of the
best fan events in NASCAR. We’re very appreciative to our friends at Boyd
Gaming, Sprint and Coca-Cola who make it possible for us to put on this show
and to keep it free for everyone.”
The
event, which will be held on the Third Street Stage on Fremont Street adjacent
to the Fremont Hotel and Casino, will begin at 1:30 p.m. The drivers will walk
a red carpet through the crowd en route to the stage.
The
speedway and Sprint also will be helping choose six fans who could win big
prizes if their team of drivers wins the game show. Fans will be selected
through social networking, media promotions and two lucky fans will be chosen
on site to be matched up with a racing pair. The fan paired with the winning
team will receive tickets to Friday’s Champion’s banquet at the Wynn Las Vegas
as well as weekend suite passes for the March 7-9, 2014 NASCAR Weekend at LVMS http://www.lvms.com/ .
