Daytona Beach, Fla.
— Several new tracks join a list of historic venues that will make up the
2008 NASCAR Camping World Series schedule, as the top developmental series
in NASCAR presents a stronger, more geographically diverse mixture of short
tracks, speedways and road courses across the United States. Also today,
NASCAR announced that beginning in 2008, Camping World would be the new
title sponsor for the sport’s long-standing Grand National Division, East
and West Series.
The NASCAR Camping World Series calendar will run on 23 tracks in 16 states,
including a return trip to Iowa Speedway for a combination race between the
East and West on the 7/8-mile tri-oval in Newton, Iowa. Last year’s event
drew almost 25,000 fans that witnessed an epic battle in which 17-year-old
Joey Logano, the eventual 2007 East champion, outdueled 2007 Daytona 500
winner Kevin Harvick to claim the victory.
Five NASCAR Camping World Series events will run in conjunction with NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series race weekends in 2008. Additional companion events are
scheduled with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and the Grand-Am Rolex
Series.
“We’ve built upon the momentum of a very strong 2007 season by bolstering
the calendar for 2008 with several exciting new race tracks on both sides of
the Mississippi,” said NASCAR’s Managing Director of Racing Operations,
George Silbermann. “With the support of Camping World, our new series
sponsor, along with a great group of race promoters, some outstanding
competitors, and a comprehensive national television package airing on Speed
and HDNet, we are looking forward to a terrific 2008 season.”
The schedules for the NASCAR Camping World Series East and West will each
include 13 races.
