Las Vegas to add banking and make changes: Las Vegas Motor Speedway is expected to at least double the banking in each turn of its 1.5-mile tri-oval. Construction is to begin immediately after the March 12 UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 and be completed before the Sept. 23 Craftsman Truck Series race.

This track is going to be awesome after the "upgrade".
I'm wondering, though, if this will impact the testing done here. It will no longer be a 'cookie cutter 1.5 mile track.'
I'll get over it, I'm sure.
