LVMS Bullring racer steps up

A Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring driver stepped up to run last week’s Xfinity Series race at Iowa Speedway. Stan Mullis started 38th and finished in 33rd place. It was the second straight year the 48-year-old Las Vegas businessman joined forces with car owner Carl Long for the Iowa race. Driving for a team so strapped for cash that it once brought a marijuana sponsorship to the track, Mullis still was running at the finish despite clutch and electrical problems. “It’s a pretty big thrill. When you’re racing (against) a (Team) Penske car, it’s a real eye-opener.”
