LAS VEGAS – One of the most famous streets on earth is Las Vegas Boulevard and it is known simply as “The Strip.” With some of the most famous Casinos in the world lining both sides of The Strip it has been the scene of some memorable nights.
On Thursday night the IZOD IndyCar Series gave Las Vegas a night to remember as The Strip was shut down. Instead of passenger car traffic it was 34 IndyCars that hit Las Vegas Boulevard, giving the thousands of spectators that lined the streets a different version of Vegas nightlife.

Catching Up With Vitor Meira BY BRUCE MARTIN Go to Macys.com/IZOD to buy the latest in IZOD Fall Fashion. MOORESVILLE, North Carolina – With one off weekend left before the IZOD IndyCar Series World Championship Presented by Honda in Las Vegas on October 16 Vitor Meira gets a trip to Hawaii. But don’t expect to see the likeable driver from Brazil who drives the No. 14 ICOD IndyCar for team owner A.J. Foyt lounging on the beach with a Mai Tai in his hand. Meira and fellow IZOD driver Tony Kanaan will be competing in the Ford Ironman World Championship – the famed Triathlon – in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii on Saturday, October 8. It’s a grueling test of physical endurance that includes a 2.4-mile swim in the Pacific Ocean, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run. So much for a “weekend off” but Meira is a veteran Ironman competitor and looks forward to the challenge. “I ran the Half-Ironman Championship last year but now it’s the full Ironman,” Meira said. “Man, it’s much bigger than I thought it would be. As I started training and putting the miles necessary to do a decent job there it’s pretty hard. It’s a lot of mind training to be honest because you are on the bike for like five hours training and then you run for 2-1/2 hours. You have to train mentally for it because it is such a big challenge. I try to spend as much time as I can not to disturb the IndyCar training and put as much time as I can not to disturb racing at all.”
