Nascar Introduces New “Turn Ahead The Clock” Promotion


Since its introduction a few years ago, Nascar’s “Throwback Weekend” at Darlington has turned into one of the most-anticipated races of the year.  Now, building off that success, Nascar will introduce a “Throwforward Weekend” at Dover, introducing the sport’s first-ever Turn Ahead The Clock promotion.
“We’re glad to say that we’ve partnered with Nascar on this exciting new program”, said Dover Motorsports spokesperson Katie Kelley.  “Nascar’s about more than just looking backwards—its about looking forwards.  After all, you see much more out of the windshield than you do out of the rearview mirror—oh wait, that’s a great slogan!”
As with Darlington’s current Throwback Weekend, teams will be left to choose which years and eras to come they will be honoring.  However, the track itself will be getting into the spirit as well.
“Instead of a giant check going to contingency award winners, we’ll show credits being deposited into their accounts”, Kelley said.  “Our concession stands will offer the bold flavor combinations of the future, such as chicken-fried ice cream and beef-infused beers.  And because we’re located near the coast, we’ll make sure to flood the surrounding area to simulate the effects of global warming.”
For its part, Nascar itself has said they will play up the “futuristic” feel of the event too.
“We’re going to have a futuristic Nascar Cup presented by Soylent Green logo on each car”, a Nascar spokesman said.  “Beyond that, expect a few surprises that you might not have predicted to see on your favorite Toyota Prius, Chevy Volt, or Hyundai Ioniq.”

Fans are also expected to get in the spirit of a race taking place in the future by not showing up.
