It’s early in the young NASCAR season but this week brings teams to the West Coast for a few weeks as Las Vegas Motor Speedway is next.
For the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, it’s their third race of the season. Following a bye-week after the Daytona Road Course, the Trucks get a chance to run 134 laps around the 1.5-mile oval. Austin Hill was one of two drivers in the past two years to win at the track twice. Kyle Busch is the other.
