Alright guys we are heading to LAS VEGAS motor speedway for the 1st stop of the annual NASCAR West coast swing at the start of each season.Vegas also got a 2nd date this season and will be kicking off the Championship run in September for the 1st time...This year will be a triple header weekend, with the Truck series racing on Friday Night 8pm on FS1, then Saturday on FS1 at 3:30pm and ending the weekend with the big Cup race airing on FOX at 3pm..All times are EST..
Las Vegas motor speedway is a 1.5 mile asphalt oval with variable banking in all 4 turns of 12-20 degrees with banking on the front and back stretches measuring at 9 degrees flat...Truex won this event last season as this was the only Vegas race last season...
The big question regarding this week is how much stock do we all put into how GREAT the Fords looked at Atlanta, and how bad the new Chevy looked..this track is not rough and old like Atlanta is and not sure if it will even matter..These are the type questions that we have every season and why early betting can be very risky and tricky to start off every new racing season...
As always everybody's opinions, thoughts, and picks are always welcomed and encouraged...Always helps to have a lot more than 1 opinion and we have good nascar posters here...Season has started with 2 good weekends so hopefully we can make it a trifecta to start the season off!!!
GOODLUCK!!!!
