NASCAR to Hold NASCAR XFINITY Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Awards at The Diplomat Resort and Spa
2015 Awards to Honor Series Champions in Hollywood, Florida on Nov. 23
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (September 9, 2015) – NASCAR® announced today that the annual NASCAR XFINITY Series™ and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series™ Awards will take place Monday, Nov. 23 at the Diplomat Resort and Spa in Hollywood, Florida.
The Diplomat Resort and Spa also will host the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series’ Championship 4 Media Day on Thursday, Nov. 19. At the event, the four remaining eligible drivers in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship will take center stage to preview the series finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
This is the first year the NASCAR XFINITY Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Awards will be held at the venue, one of South Florida’s premier beachfront resorts.
“NASCAR and our fans have enjoyed an action-packed year in the NASCAR XFINITY Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series,” said NASCAR Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Steve Phelps. “We look forward to recognizing our sport’s champions and toasting to the season at a first-class venue in the Diplomat Resort and Spa.”
In its inaugural year, the NASCAR XFINITY Series has proven that it is indeed the series “Where Names Are Made.” The current leaderboard is crowded at the top with Chris Buescher, Ty Dillon and Chase Elliott leading the points standings, and a pair of NASCAR Drive for Diversity graduates in Darrell Wallace Jr. and Daniel Suarez engaged in a close battle for Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors.
The rough-and-tumble racing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series promises to produce a battle-tested champion. Contenders include two-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion Matt Crafton and 19-year-old future stars Erik Jones and Tyler Reddick. If Crafton clinches the 2015 title, he would become only the third driver in NASCAR national series history to win a championship in three consecutive seasons.
The NASCAR XFINITY Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Awards will air on NBCSN at 7 p.m. ET Sunday, Nov. 29.
