Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Opened in 1996, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is about 10 miles north of the downtown area, in Clark County. The facility is a 1,200 acre complex and contains 7 different race tracks. The main facility is a 1.5 mile D Shaped oval track and hosts a NASCAR Sprint Cup race in March. The facility is used virtually all year round, hosting private and club events, along with testing. The facility is owned by Bruton Smith of Speedway Motorsports.

This is the view afforded from the luxury suites on the outside of Turn 4 of the 1.5 mile oval. The suites are usually provided for series sponsors, NASCAR and corporate guests and are far beyond the price range for an average fan.
