The NASCAR Cup Series is heading to Sin City for the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, fresh off a wild weekend at the Charlotte Roval.
Kyle Larson, fresh from snatching his sixth win of the year by outdueling Christopher Bell, now shifts his focus to the high-stakes showdown in Vegas. With the Round of 8 kicking off, this race holds extra weight as drivers push for the championship.
Last year, Larson hit the jackpot in the South Point 400, taking the checkered flag while Bell and Kyle Busch grabbed the runner-up and third spots. That victory was Larson's fourth and final of the 2023 season. If history’s any clue, Las Vegas always delivers a thrilling spectacle.
