Las Vegas Auto Racing

Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The Las Vegas Motor Speedway is home to NASCAR and NHRA events throughout the year, and its Neon Garage, in the center of the infield, is a place where fans can watch drivers and crews work magic on their cars. But it also is a mecca for racing fans of all kinds, with a variety of experiences available year-round. For enthusiasts who want to be more hands-on, the NASCAR/Andretti puts laypeople behind the wheels of real-live (600 horsepower) NASCAR race cars or Indycars and gives them the chance to run the track (for 8, 18, or 30 laps) at speeds of more than 100 mph. Of course, visitors can always opt for track tours as well. Reservations are required for all experiences. Adult diapers are optional. 7000 Las Vegas Blvd. N, North Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89115. 800/644–4444; www.lvms.com. Prices vary by experience.
