Las Vegas – you may want to double up on your ear plugs.

In a unanimous vote on Wednesday afternoon, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Board cemented a new deal to bring about a second Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series weekend to it’s yearly schedule.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway will receive a second NASCAR weekend beginning in 2018 that will include the top-3 national series; including Monster Energy Cup, XFINITY, and Camping World Truck Series. In addition to the new fall triple-header weekend, the Camping World Truck Series will also be added to the regular Spring race weekend, making Las Vegas the first city in NASCAR history to host two triple-header weekends.
