Why did NASCAR choose NY for NASCAR Banquet to win the Chase Championship instead of Fl?

May be...

Because what other city would be cooler to drive your race care around in? Would you rather drive your Cup car in downtown Daytona or New York City?

I guess they did it for the Prestige and the Fancy Hotels--Times Square and so forth!!!!!

Nascar's award's banquet has been in New York for 27 years. Before that it was in Daytona.

Unless its at Daytona Fl has nothing to offer. You want it to be on the biggest stage in the country. NYC is in a class of its own for that.

The main reason is that all the major tv networks have studios real close to each other and the big PR companies are also based there. It's much easier to put the Champ on all those tv shows and plaster his face everywhere. Some people might not like it, but I enjoy seeing Cup cars in NYC. Also, whatever happens in NYC usually gets worldwide coverage. I doubt Daytona has as much pull over in Europe.

Because they already have the Florida market cornered....they want to bring Nascar to new viewers in places such as New York....and for some reason, they think the Banquet will do that.

I hear yah. I'd rather go to Disney and play bumper cars with the soccer vans full of screaming brats then spend a week at the Waldorf Astoria in the best city in the world..


Not! And I live in Florida.
