NASCAR
fans will have several opportunities to see their favorite Sprint Cup Series
drivers when NASCAR Champion’s Week in Las Vegas kicks off Wednesday with the
popular fanfest, hosted by Las Vegas Motor Speedway, at the Fremont Street
Experience.
Wednesday’s free fanfest will feature all 16
Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers, including 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series champion Kevin Harvick. Beginning at 2 p.m., the drivers will walk a red
carpet through the crowd en route to the Third Street Stage.
The
highlight of fanfest will be a “Win, Lose or Draw”-style game show involving
all 16 Chase drivers. They will be joined onstage by fans chosen through local
media outlets and LVMS social media. The show will be hosted by two-time Daytona
500 winner and Dancing With The Stars contestant Michael Waltrip and Miss
Sprint Cup Julianna White.
“Each year, the fanfest has been one of the
highlights of Champion’s Week,” said LVMS president Chris Powell. “It not only
gives the fans a chance to get close to the top drivers in NASCAR, but it also
allows the fans to see them in a much more relaxed environment than they would
during a NASCAR race. This event has grown into one of the best fan events in
NASCAR and we’re very appreciative of our friends at Boyd Gaming, Sprint and
Coca-Cola who make it possible for us to put on this show each year.”
In
addition to the fanfest, the 16 drivers who qualified for the Chase also will
participate in the traditional NASCAR Victory Lap on Las Vegas Boulevard
beginning at 3 p.m. Thursday. The drivers also will take part in NASCAR’s
“After The Lap” at 5 p.m. Thursday at The Pearl Concert Theater at The Palms
Casino Resort. The week will culminate with the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards
Ceremony on Friday at Wynn Las Vegas.
