The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is set for a full season of action-packed racing in 2019.
The 3/8-mile paved oval will host 13 racing weekends throughout the course of the year, with a number of theme nights continuing at the beloved short track. Action kicks off with NASCAR Whelen All-American Series opening night on Saturday, March 9, and runs through Saturday, Nov. 23, when the West Coast Short Track Championships return to Las Vegas.
The track will host a number of theme nights that will include an array of special guests, extra activities, giveaways and surprises for fans. Fans can enjoy special evenings like the Chris Trickle Classic (June 15) and Pack the Track Night presented by K&N Air Filters (Aug. 31), just to name a few, and more theme nights will be announced in January.
The wildly popular Night of Fire is set for Wednesday, July 3, and Championship Night will be held on Sept. 21. In addition, the SPEARS Southwest Tour Series, SPEARS Modified Series, Late Model Truck Series and Jr. Late Models are all expected to return to The Bullring in 2019.
New for 2019, the Thunder Car class will move to Friday nights for its six-event season, and the NASCAR Modifieds will exclusively run crate 602 engines. Including the Thunder Cars, the track will feature 10 official points-earning classes next year.
The track will take a break after the Night of Fire to avoid the summer heat and will return to action with Back to School Night presented by Whelen Engineering on Aug. 24. The Bullring will also host the Fall Classic, featuring The Open Comp, Oct. 11-12.
All children 12 and under will continue to be granted free admission to The Bullring in 2019 when accompanying a ticketed adult, with the exception of the Night of Fire. LVMS offers discounts to seniors and the military at all events, and tickets will be available for purchase after the first of the year.
