NASCAR Plans Themed Cruise

Inaugural cruise to set sail next year with NASCAR icons, activations, live music and more.

NASCAR has partnered with Entertainment Cruise Productions to create the first NASCAR-themed cruise.

NASCAR: The Cruise will launch in Miami, Fla., and spend six days and five nights sailing the Caribbean. The cruise will travel to Key West, Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay on the Norwegian Pearl ship, which will be transformed into a racing playground complete with virtual racing simulators, pit crew challenges, autograph opportunities, Q&A sessions and more.

The cruise will also host some of the top names in NASCAR including Hall of Famers Richard Petty, Rusty Wallace, Bobby Allison and Petty’s crew chief Dale Inman.

Other NASCAR celebrities joining the cruise will be car owner and NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee Robert Yates, David Ragan, Mike Wallace and Ken Schrader, as well as broadcasters Jeff Hammond, Doug Rice and Brad Gillie.

NASCAR TV analyst Kyle Petty will host the maiden voyage and encourage fans to interact with the NASCAR celebrities as they share their stories about life on and off the track.

Additionally, musical guests the Beach Boys and 38 Special, as well as winner of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” John Heffron will perform on the ship throughout the cruise.

NASCAR: The Cruise is slated to set sail Jan. 29, 2017.
