The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) makes its only trip of the year to the Nevada desert for some late-night racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Ben Kennedy has never made a start at the 1.5-mile D-shaped oval in any series, but Turner Scott Motorsports (TSM) knows its way to Victory Lane: Nelson Piquet Jr. took the win in the 2012 event at the track. Kennedy also knows his way around intermediate tracks in the NCWTS, earning four of his seven-career top-10 finishes at tracks between one and two miles in length.
