Most, if not all, of the trucks will be participating in a parade up the strip on Thursday the 26th. The colorful NASCAR team haulers, transporting the Sprint Cup race cars that will compete later that week in the Shelby 427, will parade north on the Strip starting at about 10:00 am. They will drive north Sahara and then back on I-15 for the short drive to the LV International Speedway. The speedway expects 48-50 haulers to take part in the parade,
