The week in Las Vegas motor sports
  • 6 years ago
Las Vegas Motor Speedway is adding another loge seating area for the inaugural South Point 400 NASCAR weekend in September. The premium seating boxes in Turn 4 will mirror the ones in Turn 1. The loge will include swivel armchairs, padded seating, food-and-beverage stations, wait-staff service and rails upon which to place drinks. Riley Herbst made another successful debut in a major NASCAR series, finishing eighth in a Truck Series race at Gateway Motorsports Park near St. Louis. Fellow Las Vegas youngster Noah Gragson led a race-high 63 laps before fading to 10th at the finish due to a tire problem. The racing world continue to mourn World of Outlaws driver Jason Johnson, who was killed in a crash in Wisconsin. Johnson was a regular competitor at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
