The NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series travel west to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for a key playoff race weekend, headlined by Sunday’s South Point 400.
Both series will run the first race of the Round of 8, with the last month of the season upon them. Three Round of 8 races plus the championship race weekend in Phoenix is all that remains.
With Alex Bowman’s disqualification in post-race inspection last week, Joey Logano gets a second chance as the eighth driver still alive for a Cup Series title. Logano has won three times at Las Vegas, and a fourth would clinch a berth into the Championship 4.
