LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -
Las Vegas will continue to host the annual NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards and all of Champion's Week for three more years.
For the fourth-consecutive season, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards will take place at the Wynn on Friday, Nov. 30. It will be a culmination of a week-long celebration for the series champion and NASCAR fans.
"Experience tells us that Las Vegas creates the perfect backdrop for our sport and our fans to join us in celebrating a NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship," said Steve Phelps, chief marketing officer for NASCAR.
"Returning Champion's Week and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards to Vegas for the next three years will help our loyal fans crystallize their plans to join us in putting the finishing touches on the season that was with a series of intriguing events across the city."
From 1981 until 2008, NASCAR held its year-ending premier series awards show in New York City before moving to Las Vegas in 2009.
Since then, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards has grown in stature and prestige with each passing year.
"The partnership between the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards and Las Vegas leverages the strength of two great brands," said President and CEO for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Rossi Ralenkotter.
"NASCAR Champion's Week celebrates the best performances of the year and there is no better destination to provide the excitement and energy for the fans and the drivers than Las Vegas."
A full lineup of activity during NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion's Week will be announced at a later date.
