Las Vegas Motor Speedway Announces 2027 NASCAR Race Dates

Las Vegas Motor Speedway officially announced its 2027 NASCAR schedule, locking in two major Cup Series race weekends that will bring the Pennzoil 400 to Southern Nevada on March 19–21 and the South Point 400 on October 8–10, according to official track releases. Since 1998, the venue has hosted top-tier national stock car racing.

Spring Speed: The Pennzoil 400 and March Calendar

Racing engines return to the desert early in the spring sports calendar. According to the official Las Vegas Motor Speedway announcement, the spring weekend kicks off with the LiUNA NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race on March 20, leading straight into the headline Pennzoil 400 NASCAR Cup Series race on March 21.

Fall Championship Intensity: The South Point 400

NASCAR returns to Las Vegas on October 8–10, anchored by the South Point 400 Cup Series race on October 10 and an accompanying O’Reilly Auto Parts NASCAR Series race on October 9, as reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Schedule Adjustments and Economic Impact

While the venue maintains its traditional dual-weekend presence, notable shifts affect the support divisions. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Las Vegas Motor Speedway will not host a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race in 2027, marking the second year the truck division has been omitted from the local calendar after a long-standing run dating back to 1996.

Start times, daily weekend schedules, and broadcast details for both the spring and fall events remain pending and will be announced at a later date by track officials.
