- Description:
- The Stardust International Raceway was an auto racing track in present-day Spring Valley, Nevada, United States, in the Las Vegas Valley. It featured a flat, 3.000 mi (4.828 km), 13-turn road course, and a quarter-mile drag strip. Some track maps depicted the road course with 10 numbered turns.
Stardust International Raceway was developed in 1965 by the Stardust Racing Association, a Nevada corporation headed by the primary owner of the Desert Inn and Stardust hotel-casinos The track was developed ostensibly to attract high rollers to the Stardust hotel. The Stardust Racing Association also owned the property and functioned as event promoter.
In 1966 it began hosting the season finale of the Can-Am championship. In 1968 the USAC Championship Car series held a race at Stardust. The drag strip hosted the NHRA Stardust National Open in 1967, 1968, 1969, and 1971.
