It wasn’t long ago that this race was
called the UAW-Dodge 400, then briefly the Shelby
427, and now currently the Las Vegas 400 at Las
Vegas Motor Speedway! Las Vegas Motor Speedway,
known as “The Diamond in the Desert”, is one of the
most popular tracks in NASCAR. This 1.5 mile tarmac
track has been home to both NASCAR and IndyCar
racing.
Las Vegas Motor Speedway annually welcomes over
100,000 NASCAR fans to this event, bringing in the
cream of the crop to compete for points in The Chase
for the Sprint Cup. Over the years since its
inception in 1998 the race formerly known as the UAW-Dodge
400 and the Shelby 427 has been a springboard for
drivers like Jimmie Johnson (3 time winner), Jeff
Gordon (2 time winner), and Matt Kenseth (2 time
winner), to get the jump on the rest of the pack.
The Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a complete racing
complex. Situated on 1,600 acres are road courses, a
three-eighths mile oval, a dirt track and a
state-of-the-art drag racing facility. It was
constructed as a 1.5-mile tri-oval with 12-degree
banking in the turns, 3-degree banking on the
1,572-foot backstretch and 9-degree banking on the
2,275-foot front stretch. It plays host for the
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series: Las Vegas 400 as well as
the Nationwide Series and Craftsman Truck Series
events.

restarts in the last ten laps but was never really
in danger of giving the lead back in this one. Kyle
rolled to the easy win.
Kyle Busch started from the back of the field after
officially winning the pole, due to and engine
change. He worked his way through a race that was
punctuated with a record 14 cautions and then moved
into the lead with 57 laps to go and remained close
to the front until lap 22 when he took the lead for
good. Kyle held off a hard-charging Clint Bowyer by
