NASCAR announced Thursday that Las Vegas formally becomes the "Official Host City of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion's Week".

NASCAR's annual Cup Series Awards Ceremony will be held at the Wynn Las Vegas on Friday, Dec. 4. The move to Las Vegas provides for greater flexibility for driver and fan events.

The Nationwide Series and the Camping World Truck Series events will be combined and held at the Loews Miami Beach on Monday, Nov. 23.

NASCAR had held the Cup Series event in New York every year since 1981. After exploring several options, NASCAR formed a partnership with Las Vegas Events, making the change of venue a reality.
