Sin City has enjoyed a modern NASCAR presence since Jack Sprague captured the inaugural Truck Series event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 1997. That same year, Jeff Green earned the Xfinity Series checkered flag at the new site, which introduced major league sporting events to Las Vegas.
The Cup Series followed in 1998 when Mark Martin earned a trip to Victory Lane.
The maiden NASCAR race in the region was staged in 1955 at Las Vegas Park Speedway. The event was captured by Norm Nelson for his lone career win. What history will be created this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway?
