Nathan’s Famous, Inc. has unveiled the official list of 13 cities to host hot dog-eating contests to qualify the champions who will compete in the annual Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest.

The Nathan’s Famous qualifying tour stops in four new cities in 2014. It’s also premiering at NASCAR events, including the annual Speed Street celebration in Charlotte, NC; Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA; and Sonoma Raceway in northern California. Qualifying events will also take place at casinos, festivals, city centers and Major League ballparks.

The top male and top female finishers from each qualifier will earn a spot to compete in the ESPN-televised finals at the original Nathan’s Famous, a holiday tradition since 1916. In recent years, an estimated 40,000 fans have traveled to the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues in Coney Island to watch the Nathan’s Famous July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest in person. The live telecast of the event has consistently attracted millions of viewers since ESPN first aired the contest in 2004.

Joey Chestnut of San Jose, CA, holds the world record for eating 69 Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs and Buns in 10 minutes, and he will seek his eighth straight title this year to set a new world record. Sonya Thomas of Alexandria, VA will defend her title as Female Champion, she consumed 36 ¾ Hot Dogs and Buns in 10 minutes last year.
