NASCAR Cup Series

"Vegas has always been a weakness of mine for whatever reason," Allmendinger said. "I don’t know if it is bad memories or what. I missed the first two races there. I didn’t qualify. Last year, was our best race there, but still that was 18th. We definitely have to improve there."

Camry driver Brian Vickers will make his first start of the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) season this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS). Vickers underwent open-heart surgery in December and was forced to miss the first two races of the 2015 season.

The Chevrolet Monte Carlo had its turn; and so did the Chevy Impala. This weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS) the Chevrolet SS is putting all its chips on the table in hopes of hitting the jackpot with a trip to Victory Lane.

Twenty-two-year-old up-and-coming driver Brett Moffitt will pilot Front Row Motorsports' No. 34 Ford Fusion for the next three NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races.

Though it's early in the NASCAR season, Martin Truex Jr. feels his Furniture Row Racing team is on the right path to have continued success and overcome obstacles as it pursues a goal of earning a Chase berth at the conclusion of the 26-race regular season.

David Gilliland, driver of the No. 38 Love's Travel Stops Ford, comments on racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway:

Vegas is actually a little bit smoother than Atlanta. You can probably get it down and dirty a little more and ride more like IndyCar. But I do think that what we take out of Atlanta we can put to use in Vegas on our Speed Stick Ford."

"We have been working really hard and haven’t gotten the finishes we have deserved the past two weekends because of late-race accidents so hopefully we can have a solid race on Sunday and start moving back up in the points.”

NASCAR superstar Jeff Gordon, who announced in January that this will be the final season of his illustrious Sprint Cup Series career, will be honored by Texas Motor Speedway, the city of Dallas and a Dallas sports great on Thursday, March 12, during a special public event at Klyde Warren Park in the Dallas Arts District.

Jeff Gordon's lone win at Las Vegas occurred in 2001 when he led the final 20 laps en route to Victory Lane. It was the first of six victories during a season in which he won his fourth NASCAR Cup Series championship.
