The “Boys of Thunder,” and more than 116 Hauler Trucks, with at least two NASCAR race trucks, Infinity cars or Cup cars, plus spare parts tucked inside, are on the Interstate heading for one of their favorite racetracks, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, home of the Busch brothers, Kyle and Kurt, who will be competing this coming […]
It’s only two and a half weeks until the Boys of Thunder hit the 1.5 mile, high-banked-asphalt race track at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, located across the street (Las Vegas Boulevard) from Nellis Air Force Base.
