(NAPSA)- When the checkered flag drops on the 2005 Nascar NEXTEL Cup Series season, the roar of engines will be replaced with holiday bells and songs. Nascar fans can get a jump start on their holiday shopping with gifts that can be used throughout the year.
Fans can stay in the know with a subscription to Nascar Scene, which follows all the details of the Nascar NEXTEL Cup Series, including driver and crew chief changes, race schedules, new teams, paint schemes and new sponsorships.
Any racing fan knows it's never too early to order tickets for next season and Nascar.com is there to help.

And for the fan who has everything? How about helping out a charity by purchasing an authentic item from Nascar Champion's Week in New York City? An autographed quarter-scale race car hood and numerous photographs from some of the most talented photographers in motor sports will be featured at an exclusive, invitation-only industry party in New York City when Nascar invades the Big Apple to celebrate the 2005 Nascar NEXTEL Cup Series Champion. The items will later be sold on eBay with proceeds going to Victory Junction Gang Camp. Sprint Nextel arranged for a child from the Victory Junction Gang Camp to draw a unique design for the hood of the Nextel show car at the Nascar NEXTEL Cup Series season finale in Homestead, Fla. The one-of-a-kind hood will be autographed by the series champion and will be available on www.ebay.com during the holiday season.
