The Dirt Track at LVMS
The 2026 Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing season opener returns to “The Entertainment Capital of the World,” bringing Sprint Car Racing back to The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, March 12–14. See Kyle Larson race at The Dirt Track before he takes on the competition at the speedway on Sunday!
The incorporation of the High Rollers adds an exciting layer to what is already a dream weekend for race fans with five enticing events spread over four days at one world-class motorsports complex in “the city that never sleeps.
Along with Sprint Cars on the 1/2-mile dirt track on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway 1.5-mile oval — across The Dirt Track — will also host two of NASCAR’s premier series: The NASCAR Xfinity Series runs The LiUNA on Saturday afternoon March 14, and the NASCAR Cup Series showcases the Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube on Sunday, March 15.
