The end of the NASCAR season always means a week of NASCAR and media events in New York City. The weeklong events all lead up to the big NASCAR Awards Banquet.
Among the events were the drivers doing laps around Manhattan in their cars. They weren't racing, it was a parade and locals and tourists alike packed the streets to see their favorite drivers.
The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel is the setting for the banquet. This years ceremony featured comedian David Spade and newsman Tom Brokaw. NASCAR makes the most of its moments in the media capital of the world. There has been some talk of moving this spectacular weeklong events to possibly Las Vegas or Charlotte. That would be a mistake in my estimation. NASCAR needs a week in the big city. Many of the sponsors headquarters are in New York. With NASCAR becoming more global, a goal should be set to put a super speedway close to New York City. This will help us grow our sport even more.
