Corey LaJoie Will Likely Struggle At Las Vegas

Corey LaJoie has had decent moments at Las Vegas with four top-20 finishes, and he had one of his strongest runs of his career to date with an average running position of 13th in the March race, even though he eventually crashed near the end. But he probably won't run nearly as well this time. […]

Jimmie Johnson Might Be The GOAT At Las Vegas, But Not In His Current Car

Jimmie Johnson used to be great at Las Vegas with four wins from 2005 to 2010, most notably the 2006 event where he led only the final lap after passing Matt Kenseth on a green-white-checkered restart. However, he has not been competitive anywhere with the Next Gen car and Legacy Motor Club hasn't been much […]

Las Vegas Likely A Learning Experience For Shane van Gisbergen

After failing to advance to the Round of 8 in the NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs, Shane van Gisbergen had the worst finish of his Xfinity Series career after a fuel-pump failure in Saturday's race.

Chase Elliott Unexpectedly Weak At Las Vegas With Next Gen Car

Even though Chase Elliott contended to win at Las Vegas a couple times with the Gen 6 chassis, he has generally struggled with the Next Gen chassis, as he has never led a lap at the track or finished better than ninth with this chassis. He only qualified 18th for Sunday's event, while all three […]

Austin Dillon Surprisingly Consistent At Las Vegas But Never A Real Contender

Las Vegas has been a decent track for Austin Dillon, who qualified 13th for Sunday's race. Although he's rarely significantly factored for the lead or the win, he has started and finished between 10th and 20th in all but one of the last seven races at this track and he's been a little faster since […]

Austin Cindric Usually Finishes Worse Than He Starts At Las Vegas

After being eliminated from the NASCAR playoffs last week despite his best efforts, Austin Cindric qualified a solid 11th right behind his teammate Joey Logano. Although Cindric has a long-standing history of qualifying well and fading through the pack as a race progresses, he's done a little better at avoiding that in the second half […]

Flat Intermediate Tracks Remain Chase Briscoe's Achilles Heel

While Chase Briscoe has certain tracks where he runs very well, flat intermediates tend to not be one of them as he is often significantly lacking in speed at those tracks.

Josh Berry Likely To Be Hurt By Weak Ford Speed At Las Vegas

Although Josh Berry has won twice at Las Vegas in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, he has not been very competitive there in the Cup Series, as he only finished 20th in the March race, and he had a miserable run the year before when he finished 29th while filling in for Chase Elliott in a […]

Ty Gibbs Could Contend At Las Vegas

On high-speed intermediate tracks this season, Gibbs has been one of, if not the fastest all season long, and he posted a fifth-place finish here in Sin City back in March. Looking at similar tracks […]

Martin Truex Jr. Should Be Strong At Las Vegas

Even though Martin Truex Jr. has had quite a bit of bad luck this season, he hasn't really lacked on speed, especially at intermediate race tracks.

Ross Chastain Is Great At Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Keep an eye on Ross Chastain in this weekend's South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

With that being said, in the five Next Gen races […]
