On Saturday afternoon, the NASCAR Cup Series held the qualifying session for this weekend's South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the seventh race of this year's postseason and the first one in the Round of 8.
The first round was split into two groups, and the five fastest drivers from each group advanced to the second round. In the second round, the drivers that advanced made a second attempt to determine starting positions first through 10th. From there, the speeds from round one determined the rest of the starting positions, with Group A drivers filling out the outside row with Group B drivers filling out the inside row.
The five fastest drivers that advanced out of the first group were: Christopher Bell, Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Ty Gibbs, and Carson Hocevar. In the second group, the five fastest advancing were: Tyler Reddick, William Byron, Ross Chastain, Alex Bowman, and Kyle Larson.
