Renew at Michigan and win trip to banquet in Vegas

BROOKLYN, Mich. -- As Michigan International Speedway's renewal deadline approaches Friday, fans have the opportunity to renew their tickets and camping to win an experience of a lifetime, winning a trip to the Sprint Cup Awards Banquet in Las Vegas. Fans who renew tickets, camping for 2010 by Friday deadline are automatically entered to win

One lucky winner who renews for the 2010 season at MIS will win a trip for two to the Sprint Cup awards ceremony in Michigan International Speedway's Race to Vegas contest. The trip includes a three-day/two-night trip for two to Las Vegas from Dec. 3-5. The prize includes round-trip coach airfare and hotel accommodations at the famed Wynn Hotel, and a seat at Michigan International Speedway's table at the banquet.

"Our customers who renew their tickets or campsite each and every year are our most loyal fans. We felt this contest would be a fun way to get them excited about renewing for 2010," speedway President Roger Curtis said. "I'm happy to be able to bring one lucky winner and a guest with me to the Sprint Cup Awards Ceremony, which is the first time it will be held in Las Vegas. It will be a fun trip to spend with one of our fans in one of the most exciting cities in the world."

The Sprint Cup Awards Ceremony, a tradition held in New York City for decades, is moving to Las Vegas for the first time. The banquet-style event honors the top-12 drivers who made NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup. The event is typically reserved for top dignitaries of NASCAR, race tracks, race teams and their sponsors.

"Fans have never typically been invited to this event, which makes this contest even more exciting for me," Curtis said. "We truly care about our race fans at MIS and if we can reward them with a trip to the awards ceremony, I'm more than happy to have them join me to celebrate NASCAR's championship."
