DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Several new tracks join a list of historic venues that will make up the 2008 Camping World Series schedule, as the top developmental series in NASCAR presents a stronger, more geographically diverse mixture of short tracks, speedways and road courses across the United States. (New series sponsor named)

The series will be featured at 23 tracks in 16 states, including a return trip to Iowa Speedway for a combination race between the East and West on the 7/8-mile tri-oval in Newton. Last year's event drew almost 25,000 fans that witnessed an epic battle in which 17-year-old Joey Logano, the eventual 2007 East champion, outdueled 2007 Daytona 500 winner Kevin Harvick to claim the victory.

Five events will run in conjunction with Sprint Cup Series race weekends in 2008. Additional companion events are scheduled with the Whelen Modified Tour and the Grand-Am Rolex Series.

"We've built upon the momentum of a very strong 2007 season by bolstering the calendar for 2008 with several exciting new race tracks on both sides of the Mississippi," said George Silbermann, NASCAR's managing director of racing operations. "With the support of Camping World, our new series sponsor, along with a great group of race promoters, some outstanding competitors, and a comprehensive national television package airing on SPEED and HDNet, we are looking forward to a terrific 2008 season."

The schedules for the East and West will each include 13 races:
