· World Champions Presentations in Aerospace Components Winner’s Circle · Champions are presented their Nitto Tire Diamond Tree Champion Rings · Champions receive the Edelbrock Victor Championship Trophy · Expanded Video and Fastest Street Car Magazine Coverage for Champions
Santa Ana, CA (September 21, 2020) The NMCA Muscle Car Nationals will be celebrating the 2020 World Champions during a special Aerospace Components Winner’s Circle party on Sunday, September 27, 2020, at the conclusion of the Nitrous Supply NMCA World Street Finals Presented by Chevrolet Performance, held at the historic Lucas Oil Raceway just outside of Indianapolis. Class champions will be presented with the special Edelbrock Victor Championship Trophy and prestigious Nitto Tire Diamond Tree Champion ring. This special celebration is the replacement for the canceled Performance Racing Industry trade show that normally hosts the NMCA Awards Ceremony.
NMCA racing officials will be processing points in near real-time in order to declare category champions as quickly as possible. A second Aerospace Components Winner’s Circle will be used to properly honor the 2020 champions, their family and friends, and sponsors. The NMCA Media Division will be recording exclusive interviews with the champions, giving them an opportunity to present their champion’s speech. These videos will be produced and circulated across social media, giving our champions a platform to properly recognize their biggest supporters.
In addition to the champion interviews, Fastest Street Car Magazine will be expanding its coverage to include a written speech by the champion and several pages of photos. As usual, Chris Simmons Photography will offer a special photo in the Aerospace Components Winner’s Circle to the 2020 champions. If a category is too close to call or protested under the guidelines in the NMCA rulebook, the video interview will be done off-site using a streaming platform once that category winner is declared.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a lot of changes and we appreciate our racers, sponsors, and fans being flexible this year. It hasn’t been easy but we’ll be declaring champions despite those challenges. We will put our champions on a pedestal in this special Aerospace Components Winner’s Circle despite losing the PRI Show,” said Steve Wolcott, Founder and CEO of the NMCA Muscle Car Nationals.
The special Aerospace Components Winner’s Circle celebration will be cranked up higher and louder with champion celebrations and a wider assortment of adult beverages. Please note, you must be 21 or older to consume alcoholic beverages and social distancing is required.
