Racing was ended after 4 years because of low fan attendance and high operating costs. Drivers complained of the repetitive, flat track and the Las Vegas heat. First three races were in September or October.

KISS released their fifth studio album, "Rock and Roll Over," on November 11, 1976. The album arrived just eight months after "Destroyer" and continued KISS's rise as one of rock's biggest acts.
BITE-SIZED FACT | The album featured fan favorites including "Calling Dr. Love" and "Hard Luck Woman," the latter of which reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. #70s
50 years ago today, November 11, 1976, Kiss released Rock and Roll Over.
It came out barely eight months after Destroyer, and it sounds like a band that wanted to get back in the garage. Paul Stanley summed it up: no strings, no choirs, no keyboards, all guitars.
Eddie Kramer, the man behind Alive!, produced it. Instead of a normal studio, the band set up inside the empty Star Theatre in Nanuet, New York, a theater-in-the-round, to capture the feel of a live show. Basic tracks were done in about two weeks.
The record gave Kiss two hit singles. Hard Luck Woman, written by Paul and sung by Peter Criss, followed the path Beth had opened. Calling Dr. Love gave Gene Simmons one of his signature songs.
Then there is the cover. Michael Doret's artwork, with the four faces inside a ring of lightning, Gene's hair on fire and Ace shooting lasers from his eyes, ended up on stickers, posters and T-shirts for decades. Doret worked with the band again on Sonic Boom in 2009.
💋 Rank them: I Want You, Calling Dr. Love, Hard Luck Woman, Makin' Love. Which goes at the top of your list? 💋
