Sam's
Town To Host NASCAR 2002
|
LAS VEGAS
- Sam's
Town Hotel & Gambling Hall will play host to an action
packed weekend as the exciting world of NASCAR returns to
Las Vegas in early spring 2002. The exciting competition will
take place at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the Sam's
Town 300 NASCAR Busch Series Race on March 2, 2002.
As part
of the weekend festivities, Sam's Town also will host the
4th annual NASCAR Drivers Auction at 6 pm on Thursday, February
28, 2002. The wildly popular NASCAR Drivers Auction is the
single largest fund-raiser for the Las Vegas chapter of the
Speedway Children's Charities, which distributed nearly $200,000
in 2001 to benefit local needy children.
For 2002,
the Drivers Auction moves from the Ponderosa Room to Sam's
Town Live!, the 1100-seat entertainment complex at the Sam's
Town Hotel & Gambling Hall. Many of the Winston Cup and
Busch Series' best drivers are again expected to participate
in the charity event, which includes both a live and silent
auction. Last year, over 30 drivers personally appeared and
participated in this most unique event.
This event
features a rare opportunity for fans to bid for a chance to
meet their favorite Winston Cup driver during the driver introductions
and then ride along with them in an open convertible during
the pre-race parade lap around the track prior to the UAW-DaimlerChrysler
400 on Sunday, March 3. Winning bidders on Busch Series competitors
will have the opportunity to meet their drivers in the pit
area prior to the start of the Sam's Town 300 on Saturday,
March 2. The silent auction will feature NASCAR memorabilia
and autographed collectibles.
Tickets
are $35, benefiting Speedway Children's Charities and are
available at Sam's Town Live! box office. In the southern
Nevada region, discount coupons will be available on specially
marked 2-liter Coca-Cola products. Tickets may be purchased
beginning December 10 at 10 am.
