Hamlin won the South Point 400 back in October, now winning his second straight in Vegas.
"It’s one of the very few weeks where, while I will bring my bus, I won’t stay in it," Hamlin said. "I like to stay in the hotel, stay on the strip, enjoy all the things around here, I got to do some great fishing, actually, in Las Vegas, so this has been a great all-around week.”
The fans agree with Hamlin, saying this race is unique.
“Sun, great atmosphere, gambling, racing," one fan said.
“The crowds, I love it, I love the smell, I love the cars going fast, it’s a lot of fun,” one local said.
NASCAR returns to Las Vegas on Sunday, Oct. 4, for the South Point 400.
