JOEY COULTER QUOTE:

 

This weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is going to be a blast! Las Vegas is the headquarters of our biggest partner and supporter, Allegiant Travel. Being able to race in their back yard and in front of their employees is going to be a lot of fun and we are going to put on a show for them worthy of Las Vegas.

 

 

 

Las Vegas Speedway has gained a lot of character over the years and it just gets better and better to race on. This weekend is exciting too because the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is the stand alone event for NASCAR and there is no better place than Vegas to do it!

Spencer Gallagher Quote:

 

"I have had Las Vegas Motor Speedway circled on my calendar all season long. Every driver wants to win at their home track. Watching my GMS Racing team perform all year long, I know they've given me a Chevrolet Silverado that can do just that.

 

 

 

Racing in Las Vegas is special to me because the fans in this town have been so supportive. It feels good to show up and know that the locals are really cheering for you. It'll be great having a hometown crowd to put on a show for, and I can't wait to put my No. 23 Allegiant Travel Chevrolet Silverado up front!
