Testing at Las Vegas in Jan: Many Cup teams/drivers will be at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Jan. 27-30, 2003, for the largest test session outside of Daytona. In past years, as many as 50 teams from the Cup and BGN have used LVMS’ 1.5-mile superspeedway to prepare for the UAW-DaimlerChrylser 400, Sam’s Town 300 and the upcoming season. #20-Tony Stewart, #24-Jeff Gordon, #42-Jamie McMurray and #41-Casey Mears have informed speedway officials that they will participate in the test session. Once again, the speedway’s grandstands will be open free of charge to race fans wanting to watch the testing. There will be no public admittance to the pit areas. LVMS will announce a complete list of participants in the test the week prior to the test. In addition to the superspeedway, the Bullring will be active on Thursday, Feb. 27 with a 100-lap Super Late Model race and the dirt track will host the World of Outlaws Sprint Car series on Feb. 28 and March 1.(Las Vegas Motor Speedway PR)(12-18-2002)
