“I’ve been Miss Sprint Cup for four years, experienced everything under the sun, and I am forever grateful to have held on to this role for so long,” said Palumbo. “It has been a dream job, but you just know when it’s time to close one chapter and begin a new one, so I recently let Sprint know this will be my final season. I am looking forward to the next challenge and the next opportunity. I always knew my job as Miss Sprint Cup wouldn’t last forever, but it will forever be a part of me.”

Fans will have the opportunity to meet Palumbo at a number of races during the 2011 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, including Chicagoland Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Kansas Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Martinsville Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway. Fans are encouraged to stop by the Sprint Experience, located in the display area at every NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event, for photos and autographs with Palumbo as she closes out her final season as Miss Sprint Cup.
