What a weekend for Jimmie Johnson, NASCAR fans and Maverick Helicopters!
At Sunday’s Sprint Cup Series Shelby American race, Johnson cruised to victory yet again. It was his fourth win in the past six years at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Nearly 140,000 NASCAR fans enjoyed the roaring engines and wheel-screeching action, as the cars stayed close throughout the race. In fact, Johnson passed Jeff Gordon and took the lead with only 17 laps remaining.
At Maverick Helicopters, we were pleased to be part of all the excitement. Our company has been providing race-day transportation to and from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for many years. From our terminal on Las Vegas Boulevard, we shuttle NASCAR fans in our luxurious ECO-Star helicopters. It’s the quickest and most comfortable way to travel—plus, all of our passengers receive free commemorative caps designed especially for the big 2010 NASCAR Weekend.
Early on Sunday morning NASCAR fans filled our lobby. They were outfitted in apparel supporting their favorite drivers. Similarly, our staff donned race-themed shir
ts to welcome them. You could feel the anticipation as fans waited to board the helicopters for the short, scenic flight out to the track. Even Mother Nature, who had been threatening rain, was accommodating to them and provided perfect weather.
In addition to NASCAR fans, this year Maverick Helicopters had the pleasure of transporting many celebrities to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. They included Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin, comedian Carrot Top, ventriloquist Terry Fator and socialite Kim Kardashian, who was in town unveiling her new fragrance. Our pilots proudly delivered several NASCAR drivers—Jimmie Johnson, Danica Patrick, Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Mark Martin, Matt Kenseth, Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick—there as well.
All and all, the 2010 NASCAR Weekend was a great success for fans, drivers, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Maverick Helicopters. We look forward to being part of the adrenaline-pumping action again in 2011!
