Ultimate checklist for first time fans attending NASCAR Las Vegas race
NASCAR is making its way to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the Pennzoil 400.
Some fans are making their way to the track for their first NASCAR event and getting the chance to see the exciting and thrilling world that is NASCAR in person.
Here is a checklist first-time NASCAR fans should follow at the Pennzoil 400 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Shop Las Vegas NASCAR tickets
There is so much happening in the Fan Zone. It's a bit overwhelming to see it at first with just how much is going on. That said, there are plenty of vendors with booths and giveaways to pick up some gear. There will also be some driver appearances and autograph sessions throughout the day.
Who doesn't love souvenirs? There are spots all over the place to ensure fans can pick up gear to remember their trip to their first NASCAR race. There are several gift shops around the Fan Zone and several merchandise trailers for individual drivers and teams (including hats, shirts, diecast cars and other items).
The Wedge Brothers with Kelly Sheehan will kick off the Sunday pre-race activities with a fun classic rock performance. The band will excite NASCAR fans before the start of the Pennzoil 400 with a pre-race concert on the start-finish line prior to driver introductions.
NOTE: Fans need to have a pre-race track pass to get close to the stage
Shop Las Vegas pre-race track pass
All you need to have to get in is a race ticket. The bar is located on the Club Level near Elevator 1. The view overlooks the speedway from the outdoor patio. Fans can enjoy a beverage or catch the action on LCD televisions and enjoy some excellent food.
It's a common thing to forget, but bringing sunscreen is going to be a key to staying safe in the beautiful weather the NASCAR Las Vegas race usually has. Apply it early and often!
No, coolers are not allowed in Las Vegas Motor Speedway. However, fans can bring one non-alcoholic beverage in a plastic sports bottle, plastic cup or a metal tumbler. Each guest is allowed to bring one food item.

Kevin Hart Jokes About Diddy Without Even Saying His Name
Kevin Hart didn't hold back any punches after delivering a joke about Diddy while hosting the 2025 BET Awards. During his opening monologue at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday evening, the comedian slid in a joke about the disgraced rapper, who is currently in custody while embroiled in a federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial. 'I'm shutting down the idea of after parties. No after parties tonight. None. Take your asses home after this,' Hart joked. He then teased that he decided to host the ceremony on a Monday because 'people have to go to work tomorrow.' 'No after parties. That's where shit gets slippery at those goddamn after parties,' he continued. 'We're learning a lot about people, ain't we?' Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, had become known for throwing lavish white parties in the '90s and 2000s. More recently, he has become known for alleged 'freak-off' sex parties involving his romantic partners and multiple sex workers. Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, Combs' ex-girlfriend, testified that Combs demanded many bottles of baby oil at the encounters. While Hart's joke garnered chuckles from the crowd, social media users on X, formerly Twitter, were left divided over the quip. Ewwww I'm sorry NOT Hart is not funny why would they let him open with a Diddy reference. This finna be a long night with him hosting 😭😭💀 # — Celestial Sp00ky C00chie 🕷️🪄✨ (@TrulyJones21) June 10, 2025 'No after parties. That's when shit get slippery!' — Kevin Hart # — MONIE.🌹 (@chillwithmonie) June 10, 2025 I don't care what y'all say.. Kevin Hart's opening was hilarious. A true comedian. No gimmicks. Just jokes. # — raveen marie 🫶🏾 (@theraveenreport) June 10, 2025 Kevin Hart making a joke about Diddy's parties and the whole crowd is just laughing… this is why victims don't tell their stories. — ۟ (@headnavy) June 10, 2025 Kevin Hart is so unfunny and funny at the same time! # — EB (@ebscookout) June 10, 2025 The Bad Boy Records founder was initially charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy; one count of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and one count of transportation to engage in prostitution following his arrest in September. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The record producer could face up to life in prison if convicted.
