Inaugural Grand National Bash

NASCAR Awards Celebrating All Stock Car Racing Teams in 2025

Tommy Joe Martins

 

The first-ever NASCAR awards event, called the Grand National Bash, presented by ChaLew Performance, is set to bring fresh attention to every level of stock car racing in 2025.

 

The new celebration was created by Xfinity Series and team owner Tommy Joe Martins, who wanted an event that doesn’t just honor the top NASCAR Cup Series teams, but also the smaller NASCAR teams working hard behind the scenes.

 

Martins has spent most of his career racing with limited resources, and he explained his hope for this event. “Throughout my career, I’ve primarily competed with smaller organizations… I’ve often felt the effort it takes to simply participate gets overlooked and under-appreciated.” He added that the Bash is built to include everyone: “All of us are racing for something… It doesn’t exist without all of us. And that should be celebrated!”
