The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion’s Week gets more exciting by the year. This year will be no exception to that.

Ford, Coca-Cola and Sprint have teamed up once again for the sixth-straight year to sponsor a one-of-a-kind event at the Pearl Palms Concert Theater inside the Palms Casino Hotel. On Thursday, Dec. 4 at 5 p.m. PT, each of the 16 contenders in the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup will be at this event with ESPN reporter Marty Smith taking the reign as host once again.

Until Nov. 16, fans can enter the NASCAR After the Lap sweepstakes to win a 2015 Ford Mustang GT.

“Over the last six years as event sponsor, Ford has shared some incredible moments with our NASCAR drivers,” said Tim Duerr, motorsports marketing manager for Ford Racing. “The NASCAR After The Lap sweepstakes remains to be an effective way to engage NASCAR fans, giving them a chance to not only win a trip to Las Vegas but an opportunity to leave with a brand-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT.”

Within the final weeks of the contest, fans can enter to win a prize right on the spot. The three sponsors of the contest are giving away five pairs of tickets to go to the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race and Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
