Las Vegas Motor Speedway tried a $49 Sunday ticket.

The NASCAR track also had a pool and Ferris wheel and upgraded viewing areas.

And thanks to a later starting time for the South Point 400, they had a finish under the lights and cooler weather conditions for fans to enjoy Martin Truex Jr.’s win.
