NASCAR Getting Close To Announcing Second Las Vegas Date

We revealed a few weeks ago about the possibility of NASCAR awarding Las Vegas a second date to it’s 2011 schedule, and within two weeks, it should be a reality. It’s likely to be one of chase dates in the fall with the slight possibility that it becomes the season finale in conjunction with rumors of NASCAR’s new Chase format.

Rumors have it that NASCAR wants to add some more excitement to the current 10 race Chase format that make it similar to other sports with a bracket type of format where it culminates with a game 7 type of atmosphere in the season finale. Under that type of scenario, there wouldn’t be a better place to have the glitz and fireworks of a proposed Game 7, or Super Bowl-type atmosphere than having the race in Las Vegas.
