TESTING AT LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY

Las Vegas Motor Speedway will be busy during the last week of January.

Nearly every NASCAR Nextel Cup team will visit the speedway's 1.5-mile tri-oval for two-day test sessions, while many of the top teams in the NHRA Powerade Drag Racing Series will practice on the speedway's dragstrip.

Cost to watch the Cup and Busch testing is free, but no entry to the garage area will be permitted. The drag racing sessions are $20 daily or $50 for a four-day pass, and spectators are allowed into the pit area.

For more information, call 644-4444.
