Hot Dog eating champion Joey Chestnut presides as heroes battle it out in a pre-race hot dog eating contest at Phoenix Raceway
GOVX, the online shopping platform exclusively for current and former military, first responders, emergency medical professionals, and other government personnel has partnered with Charbroil, America’s #1 gas grill brand and competitive eating champion Joey Chestnut to host Wiener Takes All Presented by Joey Chestnut at the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series Straight Talk Wireless 500 on Sunday, March 8th at Phoenix Raceway.
Starting at 9am MST, the 17-time Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest Champion will serve as the Master of Ceremonies for the event, which features GOVX members with military, law enforcement, and firefighter backgrounds competing head-to-head in a 7-minute pre-race hot dog eating contest held at Victory Lane.
“I’m excited to be part of this race weekend and to see the different military branches go head-to-head in the hot dog competition,” said Joey Chestnut. “The energy at a NASCAR race is already electric, and when you add in service members competing and fans cheering them on, it takes it to another level. I’m excited to be there, connect with everyone, and experience the action up close.”
The event comes on the heels of the GOOD RANCHERS 250/GOVX 200 doubleheader at Phoenix Raceway, which is scheduled for Saturday, March 7th and builds on the existing partnership between GOVX and NASCAR, highlighted by the NASCAR MilTix Program Presented by GOVX. This ongoing program honors Active Duty and Veteran service members with exclusive ticket discounts of up to 50% off NASCAR tracks nationwide.
“In the world of competitive eating, Joey Chestnut stands alone,” added Aaron Pelander, GOVX Chief Brand Officer. “We’re honored to welcome the champ to the weekend’s NASCAR festivities and deeply appreciate him hosting America’s heroes for a fun-packed pre-race event.”
