CROWN BALLROOM AT NASCAR HALL OF FAME TO HOST
2010 NASCAR WEEKLY & TOURING BANQUETS |
|
The
National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) announced
today it will celebrate the top short-track drivers from throughout
North America with end of the season awards banquets Dec. 10-11.
NASCAR will return to Charlotte with a special week of activities
culminating with the 2010 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Awards
Banquet on Friday, Dec. 10 and the NASCAR Night of Champions Touring
Awards Gala on Saturday, Dec. 11. The banquets will be held at the
Charlotte Convention Center's Crown Ballroom in the NASCAR Hall of
Fame.
Fans throughout the U.S. and Canada, and around the globe, will
again be able to watch the festivities from both nights via a live
webcast on
nascarhometracks.com.
“With the recent opening of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, this is a
tremendous opportunity to honor the top drivers throughout NASCAR’s
developmental series in a most appropriate setting: the showcase of
our sport’s history,” said George Silbermann, NASCAR managing
director of racing operations.
“The week-long schedule of special activities for our champions,
track promoters and industry members will put the spotlight on the
important series and tracks that make up NASCAR’s foundation. They
will get a chance to tour the Hall of Fame complex and get a
first-hand insight into the sport's evolution. We are especially
pleased to be able to bring the events from both nights to fans
everywhere – who have followed their favorite drivers all season at
their favorite tracks – through the NASCAR Home Tracks website.”
In addition to the new NASCAR Hall of Fame complex, the region is
the home of the NASCAR Research & Development Center in Concord,
N.C., as well as a majority of today’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series,
NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
teams.
The NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Awards Banquet will feature
the top drivers from NASCAR-sanctioned short tracks across the
United States and Canada. Invited attendees will include the 2010
NASCAR national champion, U.S. state and Canadian provincial
champions, track champions, the national/state/provincial rookies of
the year, top NASCAR Finalist Recognition Program honorees, the 2010
Wendell Scott Trailblazer Award winner and many others.
The NASCAR Night of Champions Touring Awards Gala will feature the
series champions and top drivers from NASCAR’s regional touring
series including invitees from the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, the
NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, the
NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour, and the NASCAR Canadian Tire
Series presented by Mobil 1. Today, drivers from many of these key
regional touring series are thrilling fans in each of NASCAR’s three
national series. |
