Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) has partnered with the Stratosphere Hotel & Casino to support “Scale the Strat,” an event in Las Vegas on March 13-14 that will raise funds to prevent lung disease and promote lung health. Tommy Baldwin Racing’s #36 Kim Kardashian Fragrance/Sephora.com Chevy driven by Mike Bliss will feature a “Scale the Strat” decal at the Shelby American NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday, Feb. 28, at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “Scale the Strat,” an annual event organized by the American Lung Association and Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield, features a 108-floor, 1,455-step vertical ascent inside the world-famous Stratosphere Tower.
“Scale the Strat” is not for beginners. It is the sort of stair climb that is usually experienced only by emergency personnel, fire fighters or police. The first 26 flights are configured like a typical stairwell, while the upper flights are suspended inside the middle of the hollow tower with open air on each side. Individuals and teams will race for the fastest times and most fundraising dollars, more info at www.scalethestrat.com. Participants must be at least 21-years old.(TBR)(2-23-2010)
