BRAGGING
RIGHTS ON THE LINE FOR NASCAR HOME TRACKS CHAMPIONS
Media, Fans Invited To
NASCAR Hall of Fame
To Compete In iRacing.com Challenge |
Can
Lee Pulliam beat Ryan Preece in an SK Modified at
Stafford? Which multi-time champion is better around
Langley in a stock car: George Brunnhoelzl III or
Dylan Kwasniewski? Would Canadian Scott Steckly beat
Spaniard Ander Vilarino at England’s Brands Hatch?
And what happens when you let fans and media behind
the wheel and into the mix?
Those questions – and bragging rights– will be
determined Wednesday, Dec. 11 as the NASCAR touring
& weekly series’ Champions Week in Charlotte, N.C.,
kicks off with the first NASCAR Home Tracks

of their home.
The event will kick off at 1:30 p.m. with an
autograph session in the Great Hall at the NASCAR
Hall of Fame where the championship trophies and
cars will be on display with the seven NASCAR
touring series champions and the NASCAR Whelen
All-American Series national champion. Fans and
media will be able to sign-up to compete against the
champions, including Tyler Hudson, the recently
crowned NASCAR
iRacing.com Series World champion, in
