DOVER, Del. – Carl Edwards, Bobby Labonte and Clint Bowyer are all comfortable behind the wheel of an 800‐horsepower stock car on the high banks of Dover International Speedway, and have each visited victory lane at the Monster Mile during their careers. On Friday, Sept. 19, fans in attendance at the “Budweiser Celebrity Billiards Shootout” at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino will get to see how talented they are off of the track during a $10,000 winner‐takes‐all tournament for their respective charity.
A 12‐person field of drivers and celebrities, including Edwards, with support from Kraft, Bowyer, Labonte, SPEED personality Hermie Sadler, NASCAR pit reporters Jamie Little and Shannon Spake, “American Builder” host Brian Gurry, and a cast of others will participate in the inaugural nine‐ball shootout sponsored by the NKS Beverage Group. Additional participants will be announced in the near future.
The Friday night event at the Rollins Center at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. following a full day of on‐track activities at the Speedway. Tickets are now available for $15 for general admission, or $30 for VIP seating, and can be obtained by calling 800‐711‐5882.
