The 1999 Vegas.com 500 was a Pep Boys Indy Racing League (IRL) motor race held on September 26, 1999 in Las Vegas, Nevada at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Contested over 208 laps, it was the ninth round of the 1999 Pep Boys Indy Racing League and the fourth running of the event. Sam Schmidt of Treadway Racing won the race; A. J. Foyt Racing driver Kenny Bräck finished second and TriStar Motorsports' Robbie Buhl came in third. Schmidt was awarded the pole position after posting the quickest lap in qualifications. Early in the race, he was challenged for the lead by Mark Dismore and Eddie Cheever, although both drivers would later fall out of the race. Bräck first assumed the lead on the 50th lap and became the race's most dominant driver, leading 118 laps. However, with the benefit of a late-race caution, Schmidt overtook Bräck for the lead with three laps remaining and earned his first career IRL victory; it ended up being his only win before crashing in January 2000 and becoming a quadriplegic, keeping him out of IRL competition. The race featured 11 lead changes between 5 drivers and 11 cautions, the most for an IRL-sanctioned race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The race result significantly trimmed Greg Ray's lead in the Drivers' Championship as Bräck moved to second and Schmidt was boosted from 12th to third with one race left in the season.
