As if Las Vegas weren’t loud and ostentatious enough in its own right, the city hosts the fire and fury of the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series twice each year. Contested at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, one of the newest venues on the schedule and a crown jewel befitting this glitzy city, the event has quickly become a pivotal stop on the tour. After extensive preseason testing here, race teams know the track well and often light up the scoreboard with performances one wouldn’t normally see at 2,100 feet.

How to Get There: From the Las Vegas Strip and downtown, follow Interstate 15 north to Speedway Boulevard (Exit 54). Follow signs to the main parking area.
