id315IxyOMRj
While most drivers, especially Dale Earnhardt Jr., had positive reviews for the new low downforce package used last weekend at Atlanta, the question remains as to how it will fare in Vegas.

Both the Sprint Cup and Xfinity Series are in action this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The stop at the 1.5-mile track is the first of three that on NASCAR’s West Coast Swing.

The Camping World Truck Series is off until April 2 at Martinsville Speedway.

Here’s the schedule for NASCAR at Las Vegas, beginning Thursday with two Sprint Cup test sessions.
