The NASCAR Cup Series' return to Las Vegas in 2022 will come with one new date.
LVMS will host the Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube, which also serves as the debut race of NASCAR’s Next Gen car on a 1.5-mile superspeedway, on Sunday, March 6. The speedway’s annual fall date, the South Point 400, will be Sunday, October 16. This date is three weeks later than past years. The South Point 400 also will be the first race of the final round of the NASCAR Playoffs.
“We’re beyond excited to have these two specific dates next year,” said LVMS President Chris Powell. “We really appreciate everyone who had a hand in moving our playoff event back three weeks. Our fans have clamored for a cooler race date since we were awarded a playoff race. Anyone who has ever been to Las Vegas in October knows it’s one of the most beautiful months of the year here.
Companion events, qualifying, practice and start times will all be announced at a later date.
