Turner Motorsport and NayKid Racing tied for the Grand Prix of
Las Vegas Presentation Award, giving Turner the season-long Speedvision
Presentation Award and a $10,000 cash prize.Turner (No. 92-94 Speedvision Touring Cars) and NayKid Racing (No. 97 Speedvision GT Car) waged an all-out presentation battle all weekend with Halloween themes. Between pumpkin carving contests, wicked witches and car groups, the two teams created a buzz among fans about the Speedvision World Challenge. Normally, the Speedvision Presentation Award is awarded to one team each weekend, but judges felt it only fair to award a co-winner in this situation.
The win, and the three points which go with it, give Turner Motorsport 15 points for the season--four ahead of Champion Racing, who tied Hikari Racing and Team Tech Racing for third at Las Vegas--an insurmountable difference with only one race remaining.
Heading into the final race this weekend at San Diego, the standings are:
- Turner Motorsport, 15
- Champion Racing, 11
- Hikari Racing, 10
- NayKid Racing, 9
- RealTime Racing, 7
- Grand Sport Racing, 3
- Pirate Racing, 1
- Team Tech Racing, 1
