He’s coming from the most famous horse-racing facility in the world to one of the world’s most popular motorsports facilities.
“Mike will be a key addition to an already strong staff here at LVMS. We’re glad he’s decided to exchange horses for horsepower.”

“I’ve been very fortunate to work for some premier organizations and facilities,” Mossholder said. “I’ve always been intrigued by motorsports, and no facility has a better reputation in the industry than Las Vegas Motor Speedway. I’m looking forward to helping our speedway continue its trend of growth, and my family and I are excited to be relocating to the Las Vegas community.” |
