Fans going through offseason NASCAR withdrawal have a potent salve to look forward to this week.
Champion's Week, NASCAR's annual postseason celebration, kicks off Tuesday in Las Vegas with a packed week of activities and special appearances. The week culminates with Friday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards, where first-time champion Kyle Busch will be the toast of his hometown.
All 16 drivers from the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup playoffs will participate in the fan-friendly jubilee, with events centered at the Wynn Las Vegas and other areas along Sin City's Strip. A fan experience at the LINQ Promenade will be open to the public from Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day.
The activities begin in earnest Tuesday with Eli Gold's annual interactive NASCAR Live show from the Wynn's Race and Sports Book, featuring a sit-down interview and fan Q&A with this year's champion. Starting Wednesday, the festivities spread to Las Vegas Motor Speedway's annual FanFest at Fremont Street, including a red carpet walk and game show activity for all 16 Chase drivers.
The NMPA Myers Brothers Awards Luncheon takes place Thursday with the presentation of several special honors from the NASCAR industry. From there, the 16 Chase drivers will participate in the NASCAR Victory Lap Fueled by Sunoco, a raucous, tire-smoking trip up the Las Vegas Strip, before taking part in the NASCAR After the Lap presented by Ford and Sprint, an unfiltered tell-all hosted by Rutledge Wood and Courtney Hansen. All three Thursday events will be live-streamed on NASCAR.com.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards caps the weeklong bash with a black-tie gala honoring every Chase driver, hosted by comedian and TV personality Drew Carey. The formal event will also reveal the winner of the Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award presented by Nationwide, shortly after balloting concludes Thursday at 11:59 p.m. ET.
