Las Vegas Motor Speedway (Outside Modified Course CCW)

The Modified Outside Course at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is essentially a variation of the 2.4-mile Outside Road Course with one defining change: it uses Turn 12 on the south side as the closing corner instead of the standard entry, meaning cars approach the lap from a slightly altered straight or pit-out configuration; this adjustment makes the first braking zone more technical since Turn 12 is tighter and more angular than the usual flowing opener, shifting the rhythm of the lap from a smooth buildup into a more abrupt and technical start, with driving characteristics that include a more demanding opening sector requiring early heavy braking and sharper rotation, an altered racing line that feels less momentum-based and more stop-and-go, and a natural overtaking opportunity created by the tighter first corner right at the beginning of the lap.
