\"afasfa\"<\/a>DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 25, 2015) \u2013 Three new tracks headline the \u201cDash 4 Cash\u201d program as it returns for the seventh consecutive year, and first as part of the NASCAR XFINITY Series. Dover International Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway and Darlington Raceway will debut as part of the program, while Indianapolis Motor Speedway will return in 2015.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Designed to highlight the unique competition between championship-eligible NASCAR XFINITY Series drivers, the highly recognizable program will potentially result in $1 million awarded to one talented driver.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited that XFINITY has brought the \u2018Dash 4 Cash\u2019 program back and the reason is clear \u2013 the format has generated incredible intensity, making it popular for both competitors and fans,\u201d said Jim Cassidy, NASCAR senior vice president of racing operations. \u201cSince its inception, \u2018Dash 4 Cash\u2019 has brought increased notoriety to the drivers, teams and participating tracks in the NASCAR XFINITY Series.\u201d<\/p>\n

There will be more than just home track bragging rights on the line at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May. For the first time, the track will host the \u201cDash 4 Cash\u201d qualifier, which will determine the four eligible drivers that will then compete for one of four $100,000 payouts.<\/p>\n

Following Charlotte, the four Dash 4 Cash (D4C) events will include: Dover (May 30), Indianapolis (July 25), Bristol (August 21) and Darlington (September 5).<\/p>\n

Last season, Trevor Bayne was the highest-finishing points-eligible driver in the final D4C race at Iowa Speedway\u2013 which paid him and his fan partner, Henry, Ill., native James Dennis, $100,000 each.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know how important the Dash 4 Cash program has been in the past to these NASCAR XFINITY Series drivers, as well as the fans,\u201d said Matt Lederer, Comcast senior director, sports marketing. \u201cEveryone at Comcast is thrilled for the opportunity to help continue this tradition and be a part of the program this season. We hope Dash 4 Cash continues to enhance the excitement for the fans by bringing out the tenacity of these drivers as they put on a great show to get to victory lane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the Dash 4 Cash (Twitter \u2013 #Dash4Cash) program works:
\n\u00b7 The top-four finishers in the Charlotte race who are eligible to receive NASCAR XFINITY Series championship driver points will qualify for the first D4C race at Dover.
\n\u00b7 The highest finisher of those four drivers at Dover \u2013 he or she does not have to win the race \u2013 will win the first $100,000 D4C award and automatically qualify for the next event at Indianapolis. The remaining three highest finishing points-eligible drivers at Dover will qualify for the race at Indianapolis.
\n\u00b7 Those rules will apply for the remaining three events. If one driver wins the first three D4C awards and then wins the Darlington race outright, XFINITY will award the driver an additional $600,000 bonus, bringing the total payout to $1 million.<\/p>\n

Fans can apply to be a part of the action by entering the NASCAR XFINITY Series $100,000 Sweepstakes at www.nascar.com\/Dash4Cash or by visiting the XFINITY Zone throughout the season. Four lucky individuals and a guest will receive an all-expenses paid trip to the final D4C event at Darlington Raceway. The four fans will be randomly paired with the four eligible D4C drivers for that race, and the fan whose driver wins the D4C award will also go home with a check for $100,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
