NASCAR Champion’s Week Returns To Nashville For All Three Racing Series

/in /by

The 2021 NASCAR Champion’s Week will return to Nashville this year, taking Music City by storm from Nov. 30 to Dec. 2. The annual postseason celebration, which sees drivers, industry luminaries, and celebrities alike help formally crown the series champion, will be held Dec. 2 at the Music City Center in downtown Nashville.

The Cup Champion will be crowned once again in Tennessee after the awards were last held in person in the city in 2019 and met with amazing support from some of the most passionate fans in the industry. All three national series will be lauded this time, with the Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series champions set to be celebrated as well.

This is just another move in 2021 that has helped bring motorsports back to Nashville. NASCAR made its long-awaited return to Music City in June by racing all three series at the Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tennessee where Kyle Larson took a third straight Cup Series win. The 1.33-mile concrete track sat dormant since the final NASCAR-sanctioned event—an Xfinity Series race won by now-retired driver Carl Edwards on July 23, 2011. Under the guidance of new track president Erik Moses, a multi-million dollar transformation saw a multitude of improvements and developments bring the track up to date and ready for the full capacity crowds it saw back in June.

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 Nashville in 2019 before a virtual show in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
