About Las Vegas Motor Speedway

For even faster times in Sin City, head a few miles northeast of the Strip, to the far corner of the Las Vegas Valley. There you'll find the 1,200-acre motorsports complex known as the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The speedway, which now features nine different racetracks, is a relatively new addition to the American motorsports scene, but it's become a destination for racing fans in short order. At various points on the calendar, it is home to NASCAR's top racing series, NASCAR's pickup truck racing series, and NHRA drag racing, among other events.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway History

The speedway's roots go back to 1972 when the Las Vegas Speedrome opened. A road course and drag strip, the Speedrome added a short track in 1985. Eleven years later, Ralph Engelstad of what was then the Imperial Palace and Casino joined up with William Bennett of the Sahara Hotel to build a $72 million superspeedway on the site of the Speedrome. IndyCar driver Richie Hearn christened the shiny new digs with a victory in the Las Vegas 500K. Two years later, NASCAR's cup series came to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The inaugural race, the Las Vegas 400, was won by Mark Martin, with 120,000 people in attendance. As of 2020, Jimmie Johnson held the track record for Cup Series victories with four.

Visitors to Las Vegas Motor Speedway should be sure to check out the Neon Garage, an interactive fan zone known in racing circles as "NASCAR's Disneyland." It's located in the center of the speedway's infield and features concession stands, live music, the Winner's Circle, and up-close-and-personal access to drivers and their race teams. Lucky fans might come away with a souvenir lug nut. Beyond racing events, the speedway also offers a variety of driving "experiences" for car lovers who want to get behind the wheel themselves.

    On holiday from England in Las Vegas and went to saturdays qualifying. The whole day was superb from the pits to the racing the organisation was faultless they certainly know how to entertain the crowd.The only thing i would say is take a cushion as after 6 hours racing you do get a little numb in the bum!

    VEGAS DRAGS!!!

    by Lostinmojave on 4/3/12Las Vegas Motor Speedway - Las Vegas

    Me and my wife had a great time as usual. Little windy but all in all it was a great day. You would have gotten 5 stars if I got more autographs. But just some times the drivers are too busy for that. My hats off to Robert Hight!!!!!! He is always is out for the fans... And he WON!!! He is a true sportsman!! We will be back and now the wife wants better seats. but any seat is a good one . Sorry I use 35mm no pics yet.

    Nitro Methane...because anything less bores

    by sr71sr71 on 4/3/12Las Vegas Motor Speedway - Las Vegas

    Everytime I see a race at LVMS I am never let down on the excitement. This race was awesome. Nothing beats the pure sound and feel of watching nitro-meth drag cars going down the track at over 300 miles per hour. LVMS's state of the art facilities make the races here enjoyable and always great to view!

    The Hole Shot Finals

    by Fowleroski on 4/2/12Las Vegas Motor Speedway - Las Vegas

    This was the best racing ever, Saturday and Sunday was BAD ASS or as some say STUPID FAST. The hole shot wins on Sunday were AWESOME and the track record run of 3.77 at 325 MPH was wicked. The fans were all cool and cordial, the best.

    This was our first time attending the Streetcar Supernationals and I would absolutely recommend this to my friends. We've been. NASCAR fans for a good while and are now into drag racing too. Definitely worth the money!
