NASCAR poker chips coming to Hard Rock

NASCAR drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer, Kasey Kahne, Jeff Burton and Dale Earnhardt Sr. will now have their mugs on poker chips.

The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is unveiling the new chips Monday, with Jeff Gordon. They’ll be for sale at the poker cashier cage for $5.

A different chip will be available every Monday through April 14. The schedule: Jeff Burton on March 3, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. on March 10, Jimmie Johnson on March 17, Dale Earnhardt on March 24, Clint Bowyer on March 31, Kevin Harvick on April 7, and Kasey Kahne on April 14.

According to the casino, Seminole Hard Rock’s director of poker, Peter Arsenis, is pleased with the addition of these collectable chips and the buzz it will create on the poker floor. “NASCAR has a loyal fan base attracting people from all over the country. We hope to capitalize on its popularity especially in South Florida by creating some excitement among poker players and casino guests."

It's the second Seminole Hard Rock casino to have the chips, behind Tampa, and will expand to four other properties, the casino says.
