BULLRING SATURDAY LAS VEGAS

Big Rigs returning to The Bullring at LVMS on Saturday night

LAS VEGAS – It’s time for Big Rig Racing at The Bullring once again.

For the third consecutive year, the Canada-based North American Big Rig Racing series is making the trek south of the border to do battle at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway short track this Saturday night. The popular behemoths are opening their 2018 racing season at The Bullring, and fans will be treated to 3,000-horsepower rigs going for the checkered flag at the 3/8-mile paved oval.

Gates open at 5 p.m. Pacific Time, with qualifying beginning at 5:30 p.m. and opening ceremonies taking place at 6:50. Children 12 and under will be admitted free with a ticketed adult on Saturday and throughout the 2018 Bullring season.

Saturday also will mark the 2018 debut of the Jr. Late Models class at The Bullring, a class that will be a fixture at the LVMS track this year as an official points-earning division. NASCAR Super Late Models, Modifieds, Super Stocks and Bombers will be in action as well, in addition to USLCI Legends, Thunder Cars and Bandoleros on the 10-race schedule for the evening.

Two track records were set at the last event on March 24, and with cooler temperatures expected for Saturday, more could fall this weekend. Kyle Jacks (NASCAR Bombers), Kaden Crouch (USLCI Bandolero Outlaws) and Landon Gresser (USLCI Bandolero Bandits) are looking to remain perfect on the season and win their third straight features on Saturday.

This weekend’s event is the third of 12 points races for the track’s 10 major classes, and the season continues through Saturday, Oct. 6.

One of the most affordable entertainment options in Las Vegas, the Bullring’s annual series will feature family friendly concession prices that include $2 hot dogs and Coca-Cola products and $3 Budweiser beer. Spectators can also save money by purchasing admission tickets in advance by visiting or calling the LVMS ticket office at 800-644-4444 or online at LVMS.com.
