Comedian Frank Caliendo to host Sprint Cup Series Awards Ceremony
NASCAR has named comedian Frank Caliendo to host the Sprint Cup Series Awards Ceremony on Dec. 4 at the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas.
The event’s emcees will be Mike Joy and Krista Voda from Fox and Speed. (The awards ceremony will be broadcast live on Speed on Dec. 4, at 9 p.m. EST.)
David Gray and Escala will be the musical acts.
"I'm excited to be hosting this year's awards ceremony and look forward to a great evening celebrating the 2009 NASCAR season,” Caliendo said. “I'm on the pole, but don't worry; even though we're in Vegas, I'm not dancing.”
Caliendo’s repertoire of impressions includes National Football League broadcaster John Madden, former National Basketball Association star Charles Barkley, former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton and actors Robert DeNiro and Jack Nicholson.
Comedian John Pinette will return for a third straight year to NASCAR’s post-season awards ceremony – and his second-straight appearance at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards Ceremony.
