This was the final race for driver Nick Joanides, who died two months later. His race was curtailed by a nasty wreck on lap 88, and he suffered a broken leg, compounding a "life-threatening sickness" that the driver had been suffering from for more than two years.[6] This was also the final ARCA race for Venturini Motorsports as an organization, as the team announced on April 18 that they would shut down their operations, transferring ownership to Nitro Motorsports on October 15.[7]
Report
Background

Las Vegas Motor Speedway, located in Clark County, Nevada outside the Las Vegas city limits and about 15 miles northeast of the Las Vegas Strip, is a 1,200-acre (490 ha) complex of multiple tracks for motorsports racing. The complex is owned by Speedway Motorsports, Inc., which is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.
In 1985, the complex built a 1⁄3 mile (0.54 km) oval that was assisted with donations of barriers that were used in the Caesars Palace Grand Prix.[8] In 2000, the track was modified to become 3⁄8 mile (0.60 km) and was renamed the "Bullring".[9]
