Nevada Speedway, LLC has petitioned the Clark County Planning Commission to name two sections of a service road at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after local drivers Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch. The proposed names are Busch Brothers Drive and Rowdy Road. Planning staff support the first designation but raised concerns regarding the use of Rowdy Road, citing potential conflicts for emergency 911 dispatch services due to an existing street with that name in the county. Commissioners are scheduled to review these requests at a meeting next week. If approved, the signage would be installed within 60 days. These tributes follow the death of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup Series champion, who passed away on May 21 at age 41. Separately, the track has scheduled the inaugural Kyle Busch Classic for October 2, and Richard Childress Racing has suspended the use of the No. 8 car in his honor.

Nothing has been renamed yet. What exists is an application, a staff review, and a hearing date of Sept. 15. The request turned up in county filings last week, and it has a wrinkle in it. The application comes from Nevada Speedway LLC under the name of Patrick Lindsey, the speedway's senior vice president and general manager. It
"Somewhere inside the fenced-off guts of Las Vegas Motor Speedway sits a private, L-shaped service road that almost nobody outside the track's hauler drivers and event staff has ever had a reason to notice. It's signed "Eren Drive," connects Las Vegas Boulevard North to Checkered Flag Lane, and despite decades of use, Clark County's own records show it was never actually given an official name. It just existed, the way a lot of infrastructure inside a sprawling motorsports complex tends to. That
