Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Speedway Motorsports Inc. have announced the expansion of The Strip into a four-lane track. The NHRA DENSO Nationals April 6-8, 2018 will be the first event to take place on the new track. LVMS President Chris Powell said, "It's exciting to give everyone on the west coast a chance to see what fans back east have experienced for several years now." The east coast has enjoyed the intense, ground-shaking thrill of four-wide drag racing at zMax Dragway, now the west will soon share in the fun.
