NASCAR champions and industry executives gathered in Nashville for Champions Week, celebrating grassroots racers and honoring Cup champion Ryan Blaney. The event featured a parade down Broadway, red carpet events, and the announcement of the prestigious Bill France Award of Excellence to Goodyear CEO Rich Kramer. Blaney's championship-winning speech included a toast, and the Goodyear Gold Car award was presented to him. The event marked a special year for both NASCAR and Goodyear, as NASCAR celebrated its 75th year and Goodyear its 125th.
