About 48-50 NASCAR team haulers, transporting the Sprint Cup race cars that will compete this weekend, will parade north on the Strip this afternoon.

The transporters will be staged at 2:30 in the right lane of Las Vegas Boulevard just south of Russell Road. Once all the trucks are lined up, the haulers will move north using the middle lane of northbound Las Vegas Boulevard. The haulers will proceed approximately five miles to Sahara Avenue before returning to I-15 and up to the speedway.

“We are honored that the speedway would include us in one of the highlights of the race weekend,” said Robby Maschhaupt, who drives the transporter for Las Vegas driver Patrick Carpentier. “We have done parades before, but never down a road like the Las Vegas Strip. This is going to be as exciting for the hauler drivers as it will be for the fans.”

Fans will be able to watch the parade from both sides of the Strip and from any of the properties along Las Vegas Boulevard.
