Las Vegas Motor Speedway - Cup Series Race Winners
 | Following the final closure of Stardust International Raceway in 1971, plans were developed for a new racing facility in Las Vegas: the Las Vegas Speedrome. Located in the far northeast corner of the Las Vegas Valley, the Speedrome consisted of a road course and drag strip, opening in 1972. Alexander Rodriguez leased the facility from the City of Las Vegas, and added the 3/8-mile short track in 1985. Las Vegas Motor Speedway is owned by Speedway Motorsports, Inc. Imperial Palace purchased the track in 1989, renaming the facility Las Vegas Speedway Park. Engelstad partnered with William Bennett of the Sahara Hotel and opened a new $72 million superspeedway on the site in September 1996. In 2006, plans were announced to reconfigure the track after the Nextel Cup Series race held in March, increasing the banking from the original 12 degrees to 20 degrees. This reconfiguration entailed "progressive banking" which increases the degree of banking on a gradient towards the outside of the track. This increased side-by-side racing. On August 8, 2006, the newly reconfigured track reopened with the Truck Series race in September 2006 being the first NASCAR race run at the track. The NASCAR timing and scoring use a length of 1.500 mi (2.414 km) and this length was also used by IRL between 1996 and 2000. In their last race in 2011 Indycar remeasured the track length to 1.544 mi (2.485 km). after the reconfiguration of the track. NASCAR still use the old length of exactly 1.500 mi (2.414 km) for the reconfigured oval. |
