Indy cars raced at Stardust in 1968

The Stardust 150 connects Las Vegas to American championship racing.

The March 31, 1968 Las Vegas race appears in Motor Sport’s American open-wheel database. Held at Stardust, it belongs to the USAC championship era, well before the later CART events at Caesars Palace.

This record expands the local motorsport timeline beyond Formula 1 and NASCAR. It also gives researchers a precise event to follow into driver biographies, contemporary race reports and surviving photographs. Using the sanctioning series and circuit name matters: a Las Vegas Indy-car result from 1968 is not evidence of a race at the modern speedway. The linked classification supplies the detail behind that distinction.
