The glitzy world of Las Vegas offers up a fast, non-stop pace with round-the-clock action and excitement. And if the glamorous shows, high stakes casinos and world famous strip aren’t enough, how about adding in the high speed thrills of a NASCAR race!

Just a few miles north of the Vegas strip, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway offers 1,600 acres of racing fury, including road courses, a short-track oval, a dirt track and a state-of-the-art drag racing facility. At the center of it all, you’ll find the spectacular 1.5 mile Las Vegas Motor Speedway - home to an annual 400-mile Cup Series race each March, as well as Nationwide and Truck series events.

The $200 million complex now offers a track seating capacity of 150,000.

This year’s premiere event, the Kobalt Tools 400, runs Sunday, March 11, 2012 with Carl Edwards as the defending champion. Rather than offer up the traditional winner’s trophy, the race champion receives a “championship belt” signifying the long Las Vegas tradition of being the boxing capital of the world.
