Is NASCAR getting another Vegas race?
It looks like it, and it’s about time. Yes, there’s already one race during the season there, but there should be more. Vegas and NASCAR fit perfectly together. The desert, the gambling, the characters, it’s just perfect. The Review Journal has details: Las Vegas is close to getting a second top-tier NASCAR race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway beginning in 2018.The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority board of directors has scheduled a special meeting for Wednesday to consider a seven-year $2.5 million annual sponsorship agreement with NASCAR that would include the addition of a fall race at the speedway.Since 1998, NASCAR has had a Las Vegas race, usually in March. This year’s race, the Kobalt 400, a part of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup race series, is March 12.
