The NASCAR Star Nursery Late Models take on the track with Twin 40 lap features, plus NASCAR Modifieds, NASCAR Street and Factory Stocks, NASCAR Mini Stocks, INEX Terrible’s Legends and INEX Terrible’s Bandoleros making up a busy and special evening at the speedway located adjacent to the Nellis Air Force Base.
Spectator gates open at 5 p.m. with the free on-track autograph session from 5:35 p.m. to 6:20 p.m. Military and First Responders will take parade laps around The Bullring at 6:25 p.m. followed by opening ceremonies at 6:35 p.m.
Grab tickets online at www.lvmsbullring.com or at your local Star Nursery while supplies last.
Jeffrey Peterson of Grand Terrace, Calif. remains a perfect eight-for-eight in the NASCAR Local Racing Series Late Model races at the .375-mile speedway. A $500 bounty is still up for grabs for any driver who can top Peterson in a regular feature. Peterson is engaged in a battle for national and regional points with 2026 All American Speedway points leader Kenna Mitchell of Loomis, Calif. Mitchell returns to LVMS this Saturday night in search of critical points and a breakthrough win. 2025 Bullring champion Cody Brown holds second in the track standings and in the hunt for a 2026 win. Johnny Spilotro, AJ Hintstala, and Mitchell are the balance of the top-five in the standings.
The Bullring experienced one of its youngest ever INEX Terrible’s Legends winners in May when 11-year-old Austin Steinke out of Colorado prevailed. New Mexico’s Sean Salazar of Albuquerque continues to lead the standings, however, chased by the No. 11 machines of California’s Daniel O’Donnell and Las Vegas’ Tanner Ash. Connor Podloski and Andrew Hitchcock round out the top-five.
Sam Jacks’ two wins in the NASCAR Modifieds have lifted him to a narrow three point lead in the championship over his brother Kyle. Eric Rhead of Bountiful, Utah is third followed by Kayli Peterson and Jimmy Petrie.
The combined NASCAR Street and Factory Stocks compete again this weekend with Kyle Jacks leading Don Geary in the Street Stock action, while Rob Pflaffly remains the top driver in the Factory Stock race within a race.
Ben Williams of Las Vegas enjoys a scant nine-point lead in the NASCAR Mini Stocks competition on the strength of three victories. Glendora, Calif.’s Bory Molina ranks second followed by Melissa Lurkins, Austin Tognotti, and Jeff Wahrer.
The young drivers in the INEX Terrible’s Bandoleros will be split across two separate 15-lap races. Las Vegas’ Dylan Mancini has maintained the championship lead, scoring one Saturday night win this season and driving ahead to a 28-point lead over Californian Braxton Garcia. Beau Paddock runs third followed by Jeff Connors and Austin French.
