Las Vegas March: the Las Vegas Motor Speedway layout

This is a 1.5-mile quad-oval that opened in 1996 on the northern edge of the Las Vegas valley. The long, smooth straights and moderate banking reward cars with good aerodynamic balance, and the groove widens as the race goes on, so drivers can run side by side for laps at a time.

Grandstands face the frontstretch and give an uninterrupted sight line of pit road, which is where races at this type of track are often decided.
