What’s Happening?
As you log into the NASCAR app or NASCAR.com, you might have noticed the “Fan Rewards” tab at the top of the page. Or when you look at the live leaderboard and see a “check-in” in regards to fan rewards. You might ask, “What are fan rewards?” Or “What rewards can I win?” Well, this article will cover what NASCAR Fan Rewards is. It is not only a great incentive to interact with the NASCAR App, but you can also earn opportunities exclusive to NASCAR Fan Rewards.
- In 2023, NASCAR launched the NASCAR Fan Rewards program as part of its 75th anniversary season.
- The free program, gives fans an opportunity to earn rewards by accumulating points through watching races, purchasing tickets, etc.
- With prizes such as race tickets, VIP experiences, and more, it’s no wonder fans love NASCAR Fan Rewards.
How to Sign Up
Signing up for NASCAR Fan Rewards is as simple as earning the points themselves. First, fans must create a free NASCAR Fan Rewards account before they can begin earning points. Fans with a pre-existing NASCAR.com account can opt into NASCAR Fan Rewards via the profile page. Fans must be 18 years or older to participate.
Once signed up, you’ll be placed in the “Rookie Tier” of Fan Rewards. There are three tiers: Rookie, All-Star, and Champion. All-Star status is achieved at 3,000 points, while Champion is obtained at 6,000 points.
How to Earn Points
One of the great things about NASCAR Fan Rewards is the multitude of ways fans can earn points. The first is to create an account. Fans receive 250 points once they’ve completed their Fan Rewards profile. Another way is to simply watch the races. On the live leaderboards on NASCAR.com (or on the NASCAR app), fans can check in during any Craftsman Truck Series, Xfinity Series, or Cup Series races to earn 50 points per check-in. Another way to earn points is to attend a race. Fans attending a NASCAR race can check the NASCAR Track app to earn points.
Fans who play NASCAR Fantasy Live will also earn 10 fantasy points. Fans who visit the Fan Rewards dashboard can participate in trivia to earn 10 points as well. Fans who purchase tickets and merchandise can also earn points towards their Fan Rewards account.
Fans who break into the All-Star Tier will earn a tier bonus of 10% to any points they earn. Members of the Champion Tier earn a 25% tier bonus.
Now, one thing to note for earners is that all points expire at the conclusion of the calendar year. This means that fans have one year to accumulate points and redeem them before they’re reset to zero at midnight on December 31st.
Fans can keep track of their points on the Fan Rewards dashboard. Fans can earn badges as well once they reach milestones while earning points.
