It wasn’t long ago that this race was called the Las Vegas 400, then briefly the Shelby 427, and now currently the Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway! Las Vegas Motor Speedway, known as “The
Diamond in the Desert”, is one of the most popular
tracks in NASCAR. This 1.5 mile tarmac track has been
home to both NASCAR and IndyCar racing.

Today
Las Vegas Motor Speedway annually welcomes over 100,000
NASCAR fans to this event, bringing in the cream of the
crop to compete for points in The Chase for the Sprint
Cup. Over the years since its inception in 1998 the race
formerly known as the UAW-Dodge 400 and the Shelby 427
has been a springboard for drivers like Jimmie Johnson
(3 time winner), Jeff Gordon (2 time winner), and Matt
Kenseth (2 time winner), to get the jump on the rest of
the pack.
The Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a complete racing
complex. Situated on 1,600 acres are road courses, a
three-eighths mile oval, a dirt track and a
state-of-the-art drag racing facility. It was
constructed as a 1.5-mile tri-oval with 12-degree
banking in the turns, 3-degree banking on the 1,572-foot
backstretch and 9-degree banking on the 2,275-foot front
stretch. It plays host for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series:
Las Vegas 400 as well as the Nationwide Series and
Craftsman Truck Series events.
Kobalt Tools 400 Race Results
2011 Kobalt Tools 400 Winner
Carl Edwards capitalised on a pitstop error from Tony Stewart‘s team to win the 2011 Kobalt Tools 400, the third race in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Stewart clearly had the fastest car, leading 169 laps of the race but leaving the pits dragging an air gun behind him was to be his undoing as he was given a stop and go penalty and ordered to the tail end of the field. For the final twenty-five laps Stewart fought his way forward spending a long time fighting with Juan Pablo Montoya for second place before passing beneath the Colombian. Stewart tried to close down Edwards but could never get close enough and was left to settle for second and rue that poor pitstop.
2010 Las Vegas 400 Winner
Jimmie Johnson wins 2010 Las Vegas 400. Johnson changed four tires and used that extra traction to pass Gordon and lead the final 18 laps. Last NASCAR season, Johnson became the first driver to win four consecutive championships. Johnson also became the first driver in NASCAR history to win 15 times on a 11/2-mile track. Car owner Rick Hendrick is still amazed about how well Johnson and Knaus take advantage of their opportunities, even against their own teammates.
2009 Las Vegas 400 Winner
Kyle survived multiple restarts in the last
ten laps but was never really in danger of giving the
lead back in this one. Kyle rolled to the easy win.
Kyle Busch started from the back of the field after
officially winning the pole, due to and engine change.
He worked his way through a race that was punctuated
with a record 14 cautions and then moved into the lead
with 57 laps to go and remained close to the front until
lap 22 when he took the lead for good. Kyle held off a
hard-charging Clint Bowyer by .411-seconds to capture
the checkered flag during the Shelby 427 at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway. It was his first win in Las Vegas, his
hometown, in six Sprint Cup starts.
