Situated in the far upper east corner of the Las Vegas Valley, the Speedrome comprised of a street course and drag strip, opening in 1972. Alexander Rodriguez leased the facility from the City of Las Vegas, and added the 3/8-mile short track in 1985 after the conclusion of Craig Road Speedway in 1983.

The main race at the speedway was on September 15 with an IndyCar occasion, which was won by Richie Hearn. A NASCAR Truck Series race continued in November. In December 1998, Speedway Motorsports bought Las Vegas Motor Speedway from Engelstad and Bennett for $215 million.
Veteran motorsports publicist Chris Powell was named the speedway's president and general manager and still holds that position today.
