NASCARHomeTracks.com TO PROVIDE LIVE STREAMING
Of NASCAR Whelen
All-American Series
And NASCAR Touring Series Awards Gala |
NASCAR’s historic two night celebration of its champions from across North
America will feature another first – both the NASCAR Whelen All-American
Series and NASCAR Touring Series Awards Gala will be streamed live online at
www.nascarhometracks.com.
The awards nights will be held Nov. 13-14 at the Concord (N.C.)
Convention Center in an historic two-night celebration of the top drivers in
NASCAR’s developmental series.
For the first time, the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Awards Banquet
will be held in the Charlotte, N.C., area. The event, which honors champions
from across North America in the series that is NASCAR’s grassroots
foundation, will be Friday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. ET
The inaugural Night of Champions Touring Awards Gala will be held
the following night at 7 ET. The event will bring the top drivers and car
owners from NASCAR’s top developmental series on stage for one memorable
evening.
Earlier this season, live audio of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour
race from New Hampshire was streamed on the website to an overwhelmingly
positive fan response. In addition, the final two NASCAR Camping World
Series East races – from New Hampshire and Dover – could be heard live
online.
“NASCAR continues to look at ways to improve the championship
racing experience for our fans and to elevate the stature of our
developmental racing programs”, said George Silbermann, NASCAR managing
director of racing operations. “We are very pleased to provide unprecedented
access to these two special celebrations for the fans of local NASCAR short
track racing and our five regional touring series.”
“With moving the banquets to the Charlotte area, we have received
tremendous response from drivers, teams and sponsors who plan to attend. We
realize, though, that fans do not have the opportunity to travel to North
Carolina and be part of these two major events. Being able to view the
awards ceremonies live online is a great way for fans across the United
States and Canada, and literally around the globe, to become NASCAR VIP
virtual guests at these ceremonies, and be able to cheer for their favorite
drivers and hometown heroes.”
Invited attendees to the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Awards
banquets include the 2009 national champion, U.S. state and Canadian
provincial champions, all 58 track champions, the national/state/provincial
Rookies of the Year, and the 2009 Wendell Scott Trailblazer Award winner
among others.
The NASCAR Night of Champions Touring Gala will feature the
champions and top drivers from all of NASCAR’s North American regional
touring series including invitees from the NASCAR Camping World Series East,
the NASCAR Camping World Series West, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, the
NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour, and the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.
