Racing History Meets Hockey on January 10

by Britton Briley

The Athens Rock Lobsters are going full throttle on Friday, January 10, as the limited-edition NASCLAW Jersey makes its on-ice debut during a night dedicated to racing history, speed, and nonstop entertainment.

Inspired by the iconic look of a NASCAR fire-suit, the NASCLAW jersey blends motorsports grit with Athens hockey swagger; bold, fast, and unmistakably Rock Lobsters. From the moment doors open, the entire building will be branded for racing, turning game night into a true crossover celebration for fans of hockey and horsepower alike.

NASCAR Takes Over Foundry Street & Akins Ford Arena

Before the puck even drops, the party starts outside Akins Ford Arena. Foundry Street will be closed earlier that day to make way for multiple NASCAR Cup Series cars on full display. Fans will be able to walk the street, see the cars up close, and snap photos just steps from the arena.

Inside the arena, the excitement continues with 12 NASCAR drivers appearing for meet-and-greets and autograph sessions on the concourse. Confirmed drivers include Kyle Busch, Brexton Busch, Daniel Suárez, Ross Chastain, Carson Hocevar, and many more.
