1998 Las Vegas 400
The 1998 Las Vegas 400 is the inaugural running of the NASCAR Winston Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Mark Martin, driver of the Valvoline Ford, won the race, and also led the most laps with 82. Dale Jarrett of the Quality Care Service/Ford Credit Ford won the pole position, but finished 40th due to an engine problem.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1998 Las Vegas 400 )〕 A total of 120,000 people attended the race, with the profits from all three NASCAR races totaling $40 million for the local economy.
==Race==
The command to start the engines was given by boxing announcer Michael Buffer. As of the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, none of the top 16 finishers are currently racing full-time; Jeff Gordon, the lone current full-time driver, finished 17th.
This race has been self-acclaimed by Mark Martin as being his "biggest victory in the Winston Cup Series." Martin's diminutive stature made him shorter than the Vegas showgirls that posed with him after the race. He would collect six more career wins after this race; making him a strong contender for the championship with an all-new NASCAR team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mark Martin 1998 NASCAR Winston Cup Series Results )〕 The Ford Taurus would win more than 100 races after this event before it was retired and replaced with a new Ford model, the Fusion.
Jeff Burton had to fight back from a pit road penalty in order to finish the race with a decent position.〔
