STRIP SCHEDULE

Las Vegas Motor Speedway to host Red Cross blood drives

LAS VEGAS - Las Vegas Motor Speedway will host four Red Cross blood drives beginning Friday, March 27. Other drives will be held on April 2, April 7 and April 11.

The drives will take place in the Thrive Hive Digital Center in the speedway infield, and will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.

"Our community has both a lack of donated blood as well as facilities to collect blood," LVMS GM Chris Powell said. "Our facility gives the Red Cross a donation center in the northeast part of the valley that is spacious enough to accommodate the social distancing guidelines set forth by local, state and federal governments."

To make an appointment or to learn more, download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit www.RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.

Completion of a RapidPass® online health history questionnaire is encouraged to help speed up the donation process. To get started, follow the instructions at www.RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.

A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification, are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.

The Red Cross is asking that individuals postpone their donation for 28 days if the following apply: (1) Travel to China and its special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macau, as well as Iran, Italy and South Korea, or (2) Diagnosis of COVID-19, contact with a person who has the virus, or suspected to have it.

For donors who haven’t been to the Speedway before, take exit 54 off I-15 North, Speedway Blvd. Make a right on Speedway Blvd. and follow until Checkered Flag Lane.

Highly popular 'Turn 4 Turn Up' returning for South Point 400 weekend

LAS VEGAS - Back by popular demand, Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s Turn 4 Turn Up area yet again will give race fans a cool place to enjoy the races next weekend.

The special gathering spot – located on the concourse level above Turn 4 – will feature everything from a Ferris wheel to a swimming pool, food trucks, music with a live DJ, games and drink specials during the Sept. 13-15 race weekend. Turn 4 Turn Up will serve as one of several cooling zones LVMS is implementing throughout the facility, and the festival-like atmosphere will give fans the chance to see NASCAR racing like never before.

It’s also the hub for the speedway’s $49 ticketholders and will be open to all ticketholders and RV wristband holders during the weekend. The one-of-a-kind area will be open from Noon to 9 p.m. Pacific Time on Friday and from Noon to 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

NASCAR fans can meet Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers Matt DiBenedetto and Corey LaJoie at the Turn 4 Turn Up area at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

Turn 4 Turn Up gives visitors a breathtaking view of the 1.5-mile speedway and the Las Vegas Strip as an iconic backdrop. The unique area was a big hit when LVMS unveiled it as part of last year’s South Point 400 weekend and has become a favorite spot for race fans of all kinds.

The speedway’s second NASCAR tripleheader weekend of the year starts with the World of Westgate 200 NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series Playoff race at 6 p.m. Pacific Time on Friday, continues with the Rhino Pro Truck Outfitters 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series event at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and culminates with the South Point 400 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoff kickoff at 4 p.m. on Sunday.

THE STRIP AT LVMS

One of the most iconic drag strips in the country, The Strip at LVMS is a spectacle to behold!

Recently widened from two to four lanes, The Strip is one of just two drag strips in the nation to feature four-wide racing. The world's best drag racers hit speeds in excess of 330 miles per hour at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway drag strip, a place where world championships have been decided and records set through the years.

Opened in 2000, the track is home to two NHRA national events, in addition to more than 50 other events annually.

This facility includes enclosed suites accessible by elevator and permanent restroom facilities. The adjacent paddock area is lighted and features 1.2 million square feet of unobstructed asphalt that is ideal for even the largest ride-and-drive events.

Racers, save when you stay near the Speedway with Motel 6!
