In 2007, Kelly Clarkson was named as an ambassador for NASCAR. She ended up her year performing live at the Nextel Cup Championship Week Awards Banquet. Enjoy this clip of Kelly singing “Since U Been Gone” live at the ceremony.

The Nextel Cup Series drivers got to tour New York City and light up the town for their Championship Banquet week a couple weeks ago. Last weekend, it was time for the drivers from the Busch Series to take center stage in Orlando, Florida. The top ten drivers were there to accept their awards, along with the Owner’s Championship team and drivers. While many of the faces are familiar, as they participated in the Nextel Cup ceremony as well, some of the Busch Series regulars managed to secure top ten spots in the drivers’ points to take the stage themselves. I’ve obtained some great pictures of the drivers from the banquet looking good all cleaned up. For more pictures, click after the jump.

Wow! Who could have known these guys could look so well dressed? You mean they don’t always wear their fire suits? I know they don’t, but sometimes it’s hard to picture NASCAR Nextel Cup Drivers in anything except their racing gear. Well, it’s Championship Week for the Nextel Cup drivers in New York City, and they’ve been making the rounds–and looking good! I thought I would bring you a few photos of the drivers in their dress attire along with some of their dates. I hope you enjoy!
