The
Wynn Las Vegas will be star-studded on Nov. 30, when Train, Lifehouse,
Natasha Bedingfield, Phillip Phillips and performers from The Beatles
LOVE take the stage during the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards..
The
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards will be hosted by “America’s Got
Talent” judge Howie Mandel and will begin at 8 p.m. ET with live
coverage on SPEED, Motor Racing Network Radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
The awards are the culmination of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion’s
Week and will honor 2012 champion Brad Keselowski along with the rest
of the top 10 drivers in the final Chase standings.
Three-time
Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum rock band Train is quite
familiar with performing in front of NASCAR audiences. Lead singer Pat
Monahan sang the National Anthem for the 54th running of the Daytona 500
this past February, and the entire band performed hits from its new
album “California 37”
at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International
Speedway in July. In addition to boasting three Grammy Awards, Train has
won two Billboard Music Awards for Top Rock Artist and Top Rock Song,
as well as the 2011 American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Pop Music Award for Song of the Year for “Hey, Soul Sister.”
Rock
band Lifehouse and international pop singer and songwriter Natasha
Bedingfield, known for her Grammy Award-nominated single “Unwritten” and other chart-topping hits like “These Words” and “Pocket Full Of Sunshine,” are set for a compelling joint performance of their new hit single "Between The Raindrops.” Lifehouse broke through in 2001 with the Billboard Hot 100 Single of the Year Award for its hit “Hanging by a Moment.”
Since then, Lifehouse has had 15 consecutive singles appear on multiple charts. Lifehouse’s new album, “Almeria,” will be released on Geffen Records on Dec. 11.
Since
winning the 11th season of “American Idol” in May, 22-year-old singer
and guitarist Phillip Phillips immediately launched his single entitled “Home,” eventually
seeing it go double platinum after elevating to No. 1 on the iTunes Pop
Chart. Phillips released his first major label album entitled “The World from the Side of the Moon”
on Monday, Nov. 19. His live performance at the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series Awards will be one of his first following the release of his
debut album.
Additionally, NASCAR fans will be treated to a special performance from the cast of The Beatles LOVE. Combining the magic of Cirque du Soleil
with the spirit and passion of The Beatles, LOVE celebrates the musical
legacy of the Fab Four through high-energy fusions of urban, freestyle
dance, acrobatics and fast-paced athleticism.
The
2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, Brad Keselowski, was crowned on
Sunday, Nov. 18 following NASCAR’s premier series finale at
Homestead-Miami Speedway. Keselowski took home his first NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series title in just his third full season in the series, and it is
also the first championship in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series for team
owner Roger Penske.
