Top NASCAR Stars to Light
'Em Up During Inaugural
Pennzoil Victory Challenge
CONCORD, N.C. (May 13, 2008)
- An all-star lineup is set
to do battle in the
inaugural Pennzoil Victory
Challenge Saturday evening,
prior to the NASCAR Sprint
All-Star Race at Lowe's
Motor Speedway.
Five of NASCAR's brightest
stars-Greg Biffle, Clint
Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Kevin
Harvick and Jimmie
Johnson-will prove who is
best at celebrating a
victory.
"The lineup for the Victory
Challenge is nothing short
of stellar,"
said H.A. "Humpy" Wheeler,
president and general
manager of Lowe's Motor
Speedway. "We've got five
drivers who love to compete,
no matter what the
competition, and the fans
are sure to see that
Saturday night. All of these
guys are at the top of their
game right now and I'm sure
they're going to put on a
heck of a show."
The Victory Challenge
participants have had plenty
of practice when it comes to
celebrations, winning the
four most recent Sprint Cup
Series races. Bowyer,
Johnson and Busch (twice)
have visited victory lane in
the past month, while Kevin
Harvick is the defending
NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race
winner. Biffle sat on the
pole Saturday night at
Darlington and Johnson is
the two-time defending
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
champion.
The competition will test
the skill and style of each
driver as they execute a
smoky burnout; perform two
spectacular donuts; and then
continue the burnout as they
drive into "Victory Lane."
The winner will be
determined by a combination
of style points and elapsed
time, and his designated
charity will receive a
$10,000 donation.
The competition will take
place at 6:15 p.m. on the
frontstretch of the 1.5-mile
superspeedway and will be
televised live during SPEED
Channel's pre-race coverage
of the NASCAR Sprint
All-Star Race.
Good seats, in various price
ranges, are still available
for Saturday's NASCAR Sprint
All-Star Race and tickets
include the 3 Doors Down
pre-race concert. Tickets
start at $40 and may be
obtained by calling
1-800-455-FANS or online at
