The change in venue is part of the facility\u2019s 75 year anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to be moving our banquet to Mohegan Sun this season. Their staff was extremely patient and accommodating as we worked through all of the logistics, and we ended up with a terrific venue at a manageable cost for our race teams. I think that this will be a significant enhance to what we offer our teams, and recognize them in a way that is equal to their accomplishments,\u201d TSMP General Manager, Josh Vanada, remarked.<\/p>\n<p>The 2015 Championship Awards Banquet will feature a completely overhauled format. Champions\u2019 cars will be brought into the hall on Saturday morning, and will be on display throughout the awards ceremony. In addition, multimedia will be used to enhance the presentation, including championship videos and a live red-carpet show hosted by Victory Lane Radio. Improved trophies, and special guest appearances will all be part of the program as well.<\/p>\n<p>TSMP and Mohegan Sun have also partnered up to offer a truly first-class experience supporting the event. An individual of the Champions\u2019 choosing \u2013 spouse, friend, mother or whomever else they may like \u2013 will benefit from a visit to Mohegan Sun\u2019s spa, Elemis, compliments of TSMP and Mohegan Sun. Additionally, for those looking to stay at the Casino, a special room rate will be available. That information, along with the required code, will be emailed to teams shortly after the Icebreaker.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will this be an upgrade for race teams, but TSMP has also announced that they will be selling a limited number of tickets to race fans. Tickets will go on sale on TSMP\u2019s website \u2013 www.thompsonspeedway.com \u2013 on, Monday, April 20, on for race fans.<\/p>\n<p>Vanada went on to say, \u201cWe worked at trying to put this together last year, but time ran out on us. It was well worth the wait. The offerings we have now exceed what we had thought was possible last year. The space of the venue will allow us to invite all of our teams, and even some of our fans, which I think will be a great opportunity for them to be with us at an event they normally would not attend. We look forward to capping off our 75th season in such a big way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THOMPSON, CONN. \u2013 Officials from Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park (TSMP) announced this morning that the 2015 Championship Awards Banquet will be held at Mohegan Sun on Saturday, December 5, 2015.
