After the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval concluded the Round of 12, NASCAR’s premier series heads westward to begin the Round of 8 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, scheduled for this Sunday in the South Point 400 (5:30 p.m. ET, USA Network, PRN Radio, HBO Max, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, NBC Sports App).
Denny Hamlin (plus-8), Ryan Blaney (plus-6), Kyle Larson (plus-4) and William Byron (plus-4) sit above the playoff cut. Christopher Bell (minus-4), Chase Elliott (minus-14), Chase Briscoe (minus-14) and defending Las Vegas fall winner Joey Logano (minus-24) place below the four-driver cutoff and will have three contests to flip fortunes in their favor. Ross Chastain, Bubba Wallace, Tyler Reddick and Austin Cindric were eliminated from title contention following the Charlotte Roval.
Katherine Legge will race behind the wheel of a Cup Series machine for the first time since August, once again piloting the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Chevrolet. In six prior Cup Series starts this season, the 45-year-old driver has tallied two top-20 finishes, including a 17th-place result at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July.
