Comedian Caliendo will host NASCAR banquet

Nov 20, 2009 - 5:08 PM LAS VEGAS(AP) -- Comedian Frank Caliendo will host NASCAR's season-ending banquet in December in Las Vegas.

Caliendo, a noted impressionist, was featured in several videos at last year's awards ceremony. He has appeared at postseason events for the NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

NASCAR moved its season-ending party to Las Vegas this year after nearly three decades in New York. The banquet will be held on Dec. 4 at the Wynn Las Vegas.

Singer David Gray and female electric string quartet Escala will perform at the banquet.
