Track president Wheeler, who delayed the start of the announcement because of a last-second phone call he received, said the competition is a nod to the All-Star events held by other leagues that feature skills competitions such as the Home Run Derby or Slam Dunk contest.
Participants in the contest, which is sponsored by Pennzoil, will have to do two 360-degree spins and then drive into a mock victory lane on the frontstretch. Drivers will not be allowed to go onto the apron on the frontstretch nor the grass. The quickest driver wins a $10,000 donation to his favorite charity.
