, located at 7000 Las Vegas Boulevard North in
Las Vegas, Nevada , is a 1,200 acre (4.9 km&
2) complex of 4 different tracks for automobile racing. The complex is owned by
Speedway Motorsports, Inc. , which is located in
Charlotte, North Carolina .
The complex is home to several race teams. Currently, March, 2005, the track is open two nights a week for locals to drag race. This is an effort to get this activity off of local streets and into a safer environment.
The track is used by the
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department as their driver training facility.
In 2006, plans were announced to reconfigure the track after the March 2006 NEXTEL Cup Series Race. This reconfiguration will entail raised banking to increase side by side racing, and the construction of a new fan zone and pit road.
