Formula USA won’t gamble with NASCAR in Las Vegas

Formula USA Schedule Update

Due to a shift in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series schedule, Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s NCTS race is now on September 24-25-26. The facility has asked Formula USA to move the combined Formula USA/CCS three-daye event originally scheduled for September 24-25-26 to the previous weekend of September 17-18-19, to limit logistical issues.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway has stated that Formula USA could stay on the same weekend, however the new date works well with the Pacific and Southwest regional CCS schedules, and the old date would prove difficult with the shortage of hotel rooms and traffic problems which would likely negatively impact the event. Formula USA/CCS Competition Director Kevin Elliott commented stating, “I feel the best course of action would be to move the date, which will provide a better weekend of racing and less logistical hassle for our racers.”

The weekend will still host the full compliment of racing with all CCS series classes and a full Formula USA class schedule including Sportbike, Superbike, Thunderbike, the newly added Formula Sportbike, and the 200 Mile Team Challenge series events.
