Ford heads into NASCAR’s western swing on a high note after Kevin Harvick’s two wins last weekend, highlighted by Sunday’s dominating performance in which he led 181-of-325 laps. As all three series prepare to race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Ford Performance looks at how its teams have fared at the 1.5-mile track.

COMPARING ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEDWAY TO LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY: "Heading to Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend, there are some things we can take from Atlanta Motor Speedway and some things we can't," Allmendinger said. "If you go to Atlanta and your car has speed in it, you kind of feel like you’re going to go to Las Vegas (another 1.5-mile track) and have speed in it there as well. The setup is a bit different for sure. Our teammate ran the test at Las Vegas in January, and we got some good notes from that in terms of how this new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 will handle once we race there. We’ll definitely use the test notes more than we’ll use the Atlanta notes going to Vegas."
