News and Notes

• Harvick is doing a little bit of TWT and running 3 2021 X-Races and 1 Truck race. The Truck race will be Bristol Dirt Race and the X-Races will on road courses new to Cup. I think it is extra practice for the Cup races.
• Keso and Larson are on the front row to start Sunday's race.
• Penalty Report - Las Vegas post-race penalties announced.;
  • 6 lug nut penalties in Cup,
  • 1 in Xfinity,
  • 1 in Trucks.
  • Custer's crew chief suspended for one race for two loose lug nuts.
• TV ratings - 2.6 rating and 4.358 million viewers for Las Vegas, off a tick from 2.7 and 4.575M viewers for the comparable fourth-weekend slot last year at Phoenix.

iBoats Fantasy Live

• Just like Cup, iFL has a new winner every week. 64osby is the latest at Vegas. 64 was running out of wheel chocks, so the timing was just right! Congrats, 64.
• After 4 races, Da Rowdy Gambler is sitting on top of the leader board, 64osby is creeping up.
• iFL rosters lock at 3:40 PM on Sunday.

Good luck and stay safe,

Humpty
