Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube NASCAR Cup Series event marks the 31st race hosted by Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the series’ history after the track held a single race each year from 1998-2017 and two each since the 2018 season. The 1.5-mile tri-oval located in Las Vegas Valley, Nevada, has an asphalt racing surface with 20 degrees of banking in each turn and nine degrees on the front and backstretch. While the track first opened in 1996, the Cup Series held its inaugural race at the track in 1998 with NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Mark Martin leading 82 of 267 laps and taking home the first-ever checkered flag in Sin City.
It will take 267 laps to complete the 400.5 mile race and stage finishes are set for laps 80, 165, and 267. Rousch Fenway Racing is the team with the most wins with 7 total and Jimmie Johnson has the most wins with 4 at Las Vegas.
Cup qualifying is Saturday 11:20 - 12:30. Xfinity racing starts at 1:30. The Pennzoil 400 starts at 3:30 Eastern on Sunday and is televised on Fox. Make your picks and let's go racing, boys!
BTW, Josh Berry will be filling in for Chase Elliott who had a snowboarding accident and injured his leg requiring surgery on Friday evening. I am guessing Elliott will be out for a while!
