Sprint Cup
CUP: Stewart King Of Las Vegas This Week
Champion’s Week activities are scheduled to begin in Las Vegas Wednesday…

It’s Tony Stewart’s week.
Las Vegas will never be the same.
Stewart will be celebrating his third Sprint Cup championship this week in Sin City, but it’s his first since the banquet was moved from New York City to Las Vegas.
Stewart has been known to have an entertainment-filled time on trips to Vegas. This week he arrives as national champion. It could be quite the adventure. Maybe he’ll drive his car into one of the hotel fountains during the victory lap on the Strip.
The fun is scheduled to begin Wednesday afternoon with a NASCAR FanFest on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas (as opposed to the Strip, where most of the spotlighted hotel/casinos are located).
This could be the most entertaining part of the week as the 12 Chase drivers are scheduled to participate in a version of the Newlywed Game, the television game show in which new brides and grooms succeed at embarrassing themselves in front of a national audience as they try to win a washer-dryer set. Depending on how the drivers are paired (this will be done in a drawing), the questions and answers could prove quite entertaining.
Bob Eubanks, the long-time host of the television show, is scheduled to host the NASCAR version.
Thursday will be the busiest day of the week. The annual National Motorsports Press Association Myers Brothers Awards luncheon is scheduled at 11 a.m. at the Bellagio. A long list of driver and team awards will be presented as a prelude to Friday night’s Sprint Cup awards banquet.
On Friday afternoon, Stewart will lead the other Chase drivers on a victory lap along the Las Vegas Strip, a ride that will conclude with a Stewart burnout before thousands of fans in front of the Hard Rock Hotel/Casino.
Then drivers will participate in an “After The Lap” fan question-and-answer session at the Hard Rock.
Friday night’s awards banquet is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. ET at the Wynn Hotel. Stewart and the other nine drivers in the Sprint Cup top 10 will be honored. Country singer Reba McEntire will host the event. SPEED will provide coverage.
