NASCAR Awards and Champions Week returning to Nashville in November

The NASCAR Awards and Champions Week will return to Nashville at the end of the 2022 season for a third time.

NASCAR announced the return to Music City Center for the Nov. 30-Dec. 1 event Tuesday.

The NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion will be crowned during the event.

“We are pleased to announce our return to Music City for the celebration to crown our series champions,” said Pete Jung, NASCAR senior vice president/chief marketing officer. “We are delighted to bring the celebration to Nashville once again, as the city’s energy and passion for motorsports never ceases to amaze us. We are looking forward to being back following the conclusion of the 2022 season.”

The formal postseason Awards is a tradition that stretches back to 1981, when the event was held in New York City. It relocated to Las Vegas in 2009 and then moved to Nashville for the first time in 2019.
