The
annual parade of haulers down the world-famous Las Vegas Strip and a free day
of NASCAR Sprint Cup testing will kick off the annual NASCAR Weekend at Las
Vegas Motor Speedway beginning Wednesday, March 5.
The
hauler parade will start at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 5 on the south end of
the Strip. It will proceed north to Sahara Avenue before heading north on
Interstate 15 to the speedway. On Thursday, the NASCAR Sprint Cup teams will be
testing the new rules package from noon to 4 p.m. The grandstands and Neon
Garage will be open for free to all race fans.
“These are two great fan events to start the
race weekend," said LVMS president Chris Powell. “The hauler parade has
brought thousands of fans to the Strip to watch the team transporters make
their way to the speedway. The test session will be very vital for the teams as
they prepare for both the Kobalt 400 and the remaining superspeedway races.”
The
speedway also will host a question and answer session with drivers Kurt Busch,
Brian Vickers and David Ragan on Thursday following the test session at 4:15
p.m. in the Neon garage.
The
Kobalt 400 will begin at noon Pacific Time on Sunday, March 9, the Boyd Gaming
300 NASCAR Nationwide Series race is set
for 1:15 p.m. on Saturday, March 8 and gates open for Stratosphere Pole Day at
10:30 a.m. on Friday, March 7. There also will be two nights of World of
Outlaws action on the dirt track on March 5 and 6.
