NASCAR: Ranking the 10 Best Venues to Watch a Race | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Since Las Vegas Motor Speedway was reconfigured and the fan-favorite Neon Garage in the infield was constructed, the entire experience of attending a race there has improved dramatically.

Arguably one of the best one-and-a-half-mile tracks on the circuit, the beauty of LVMS is not just the great racing that usually takes place there, but also the ability for fans to take in a show on the nearby Strip, to enjoy world-famous cuisine at bargain prices (particularly buffets) and for no additional charge, watch impromptu air shows (for free) from fighter jets that take off from Nellis Air Force Base, directly across the street from LVMS.

If there's one downside to LVMS, it's that there's only one race there each year. But track owner Bruton Smith continues to work on that, trust me.
