BetMGM returns as title sponsor of Charlotte’s Xfinity Series race and fan festival this May

BetMGM announced its return for the second year as the entitlement sponsor of the BetMGM 300 race (part of NASCAR’s Xfinity Series) at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 24. 

The sports betting operator is also the title sponsor of the BetMGM Speed Street experience, set to provide entertainment, food and interactive experiences for fans in town for NASCAR’s tripleheader weekend, May 23-25. Headlining the fan festival will be GRAMMY-nominated Smash Mouth, performing at the BetMGM Speed Street Stage on Saturday, May 24. 

“A little over a year after launching sports betting in North Carolina, BetMGM is pleased to be at the heart of the excitement for the BetMGM 300 and BetMGM Speed Street,” said Casey Hurbis, BetMGM Chief Marketing Officer. “As NASCAR betting continues to grow, this weekend presents a wonderful opportunity to connect with passionate motorsport and music fans in the Tar Heel State.” 

BetMGM will be integrated throughout the BetMGM 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series showdown, from the honorary starter to pace cars and signage on billboard turns, to barrier decals and pit signs. The winner of the race will be awarded a full-size, custom BetMGM slot machine along with the BetMGM 300 trophy.

Fans will be able to take photos with the trophy, slot machine, and Richard Childress Racing’s No. 8 BetMGM Chevrolet driven by Kyle Busch at a new victory lane experience located within the BetMGM Speed Street. 

Charlotte Motor Speedway President and General Manager Greg Walter said: “The stakes are going to be high when the Xfinity Series returns for the BetMGM300 this Memorial Day Weekend, but one sure bet is that the fans will ultimately be the big winners.

"With a weekend full of great music, driver appearances and interactive displays in BetMGM Speed Street and high-octane action on the track, this will be the can’t-miss event to kick off summer.”
