NASCAR Champion's Week In Las Vegas

This week is NASCAR Champion's week in Las Vegas. There are many opportunities to see the drivers close up and you also may get lucky and get an autograph or two.
Here is some information if you are going to be in Las Vegas the next couple of days:
On Wednesday: Las Vegas Motor Speedway's Champion's Week Kickoff Event: Held on Fremont Street, this free event starts at 2:15 p.m. and will feature a Newlywed Game-type competition among the top-12 drivers.
Thursday: NASCAR Victory Lap: Set for 3 p.m., the fan-favorite NASCAR Victory Lap will feature the top 12 drivers parading -- with engines growling -- down the famed Las Vegas strip in their teams' respective race cars. NASCAR Victory Lap will feature an authentic pit stop along the route and two burn-out sections for drivers. NASCAR Victory Lap will start in front of Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino on Las Vegas Boulevard and end at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Coca-Cola Fan Zone: Fans can get a front-row seat for the conclusion of NASCAR Victory Lap at the Coca-Cola Fan Zone, a free event located at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. Beginning at noon, the Coca-Cola Fan Zone offers interactive displays from The Sprint Experience, Game Show Network, Ford, Coca-Cola, and is a prelude to NASCAR After the Lap.
NASCAR After the Lap: Starting at 4:30 p.m., NASCAR After The Lap is one of the highlights of Sprint Cup Series Champion's Week. Tickets for the third-annual event will be available for purchase at NASCARafterthelap.com for $20, with proceeds benefitting The NASCAR Foundation, a non-profit organization which raises funds that support children's charities and important causes throughout the nation. Sponsored by Ford Motor Company and Coca-Cola, the event is renowned for its unfiltered, "tell-all" format featuring the 2011 top-12 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers. http://www.nascar.com/news/111003/2011-champions-week-details/index.html
On Friday: The awards ceremony will be held at 6:00 and broadcast on Speed and MRN radio. (wish we still had that in Las Vegas)
So, if you live or visiting Las Vegas, come on down to the Strip. I'll be there for the parade at the Hard Rock.
