Forbes.com and Mario Andretti Racing Experience in Las Vegas
The main reason I was in Vegas was to drive with the NASCAR Racing Experience and The Mario Andretti Racing Experience at the speedway there. The track is a 1.5-mile-long, D-shaped oval which NASCAR races on annually, and which briefly gained international prominence in 2011 when British IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon was killed in a spectacular 15-car pileup in turn two.
The schools' host, Todd Rasmussen, had scheduled me for multiple sessions in both the stock car and the Indy car. Afterward, I would also give a few rides in the two-seaters to customers who wanted a high-speed thrill. Truth be told, I had driven with the schools for 20 years at various tracks including Texas, Daytona, Charlotte and Fontana, so I had quite a bit of oval experience. But Vegas was new to me.

170 Mph Ride-Alongs Test Mettle Of Passengers - And The Driver
The Nascar Racing Experience and the Mario Andretti Racing Experience offer motorsports fans the chance to test their mettle in stock cars and Indy cars at high speeds, both as a driver and as a passenger.
Over the past two decades, I have participated in all forms of their programs at a variety of tracks including Charlotte Motor Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Kentucky Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway and the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA. In so doing, I have driven hundreds of laps and set student speed records.
So to push the limits a bit further, I asked Robert Lutz, who owns both schools, if I could take some of his customers out on high-speed, ride-along laps. To my surprise, Lutz agreed. He clearly has confidence in me. READ MORE>

Engelland Trades Sports With NASCAR Driver Kurt Busch
by Gordon Weigers @GoldenKnights / VegasGoldenKnights.com
From the outside, hockey and NASCAR appear to be completely different-because they are. But when Golden Knights defenseman Deryk Engelland and NASCAR champion Kurt Busch traded places for a day, they saw similarities in the two completely separate sports.
Busch, Engelland, and AT&T SportsNet Analyst Shane Hnidy took to the ice at City National Arena Monday morning to give Busch a crash-course on being a hockey player. Just before they hit the ice, Busch said he felt confident despite having skated only four or five times prior, though he worried he wouldn’t look as graceful as his new linemates.
