NASCAR Packs Up and Heads West – Literally

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Switching gears from previous seasons, the NASCAR® Sprint Cup Series™ will run three consecutive races on the west coast – and NASCAR has loaded up an RV for an epic road trip.

"#NASCARGoesWest presented by Camping World®" officially kicked off this week in Las Vegas as members of the NASCAR digital and social teams packed up an RV and headed to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Chuck Bush and Matthew Dillner of NASCAR.com will host the ultimate NASCAR road trip that will see the Camping World RV travel to Phoenix from Las Vegas before eventually making its way to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.

The #NASCARGoesWest team, led by Bush and Dillner – who star in the popular The F-Post feature on NASCAR.com – will travel almost 1000 miles while not missing a single minute of NASCAR action.

What adventures await?

Fans can follow all the action on NASCAR.com and NASCAR social channels, which began on Thursday with the RV broadcasting live from the NASCAR Hauler Parade on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. Whether it's from point-to-point and track-to-track, fans will be given a front-row seat for NASCAR.com's west coast adventure.

NASCAR's bevy of social channels also will document every moment of the tour. Follow NASCAR on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and Vine throughout the three-week excursion. Fans are encouraged to join the conversation by using #NASCARGoesWest to submit questions for driver Twitter takeovers or to suggest landmarks to visit. Fans can tune in everyday for a behind-the-scenes view of the ultimate NASCAR road trip.

In addition to showing a glimpse inside NASCAR race weekends, the #NASCARGoesWest team will take you everywhere from a dune buggy adventure with Greg Biffle to touring Hollywood landmarks. The duo of Bush and Dillner will sit down with NASCAR stars for "Grillin and Chillin" segments at Phoenix International Raceway and Auto Club Speedway to discuss tailgating recipes, life on the road, and all things NASCAR.
