BULLRING SATURDAY LAS VEGAS BLVD NORTH

Racing returns to The Bullring with Back to School Night this Saturday

LAS VEGAS – Kids are back in school, and that means it’s time to go racing

again at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Action returns to the 3/8-mile paved oval this Saturday after a seven-week

break with Back to School Night presented by Whelen Engineering. All local

students, teachers and school staff will be admitted free, along with one

adult guest, by presenting their valid IDs on the special night.

The evening will include free giveaways, special appearances by area educational

leaders and a school-themed opening ceremony. Gates open for spectators at

5 p.m. Pacific Time, opening ceremonies are set for 6:55 p.m. and racing follows

immediately.

Fans will be treated to NASCAR Super Late Models, Super Stocks, Bombers and

Modifieds races, as well as the return of the Late Model Truck Series to The Bullring.

The USLCI Legends, Thunder Cars and Bandoleros, as well as Skid Plate Cars, also

will be in action.

Back to School Night is one of four remaining regular-season race weekends for nine

of The Bullring’s 10 classes, so championship points are at a premium at the short track.

Points leaders Jimmy Parker Jr. (NASCAR Super Late Models), Vinny Raucci Jr.

(NASCAR Bombers), Doug Hamm (NASCAR Modifieds) and Sam Jacks (NASCAR

Super Stocks) are expected to compete on Saturday.

The Late Model Truck Series originated in 1997 as the Speed Truck Series under the

American Speed Association (ASA). The trucks raced at nearly a dozen different tracks

in California, Arizona and Nevada before the ASA disbanded in 2013.

One of the most affordable entertainment options in Las Vegas, the Bullring’s annual series

features 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 702.644.4444 or online at LVMS.com,

and children age 12 and under get in free with a ticketed adult.
