LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Las Vegas Motor Speedway is repaving The Bullring, the venue’s historic 3/8-mile short-track oval.
The facility has served as an early racing ground for several drivers who went on to compete in NASCAR’s Cup Series, including Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Brendan Gaughan, Noah Gragson, Riley Herbst and Zane Smith.
“The Bullring has been a cornerstone of Southern Nevada motorsports for decades, creating unforgettable memories for drivers, teams and fans while serving as an important gathering place for our community,” said Patrick Lindsey, Sr. Vice President and General Manager of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “As we prepare to repave this historic facility, we do so with tremendous respect for its legacy and everything it has meant to generations of racing enthusiasts. A new surface will enhance the experience while providing greater flexibility to host new events, attract new audiences and create unique experiences that complement our traditional racing schedule.”

“It’s exciting to hear about some of the updates and upgrades being planned for The Bullring and that everyone at LVMS understands the value of having a world-class grassroots venue in the Las Vegas area, to continue to groom talent that will work their way up the ranks and represent the area for many years to come,” Gragson said. “I can’t wait to see it all come to life and to get back out to race in front of family and friends at a track that helped launch my racing career.”
Las Vegas Motor Speedway said additional details on the repaving timeline, reopening schedule and future events will be announced at a later date. More information is available at LVMS.com.
