Check out the qualifying order (2:15 p.m. ET on FS1) for Saturday’s on-track action at Las Vegas Motor Speedway before Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 (3:30 p.m. ET on FOX, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). To view the order, click the printer icon above or click here to see the full order.

On most ovals this season, teams will be split into two groups based on odd/even finishing order from the week’s previous race for one 15-minute warmup/practice session per group. That will NOT be the case at Las Vegas, where the full field will comprise one group for the Cup practice (1:30 p.m. ET on FS2) that will run for 35 minutes to give teams additional on-track time.

That practice will lead directly into single-car, single-lap qualifying that is split up into two groups. The top five drivers from each group will then advance to the second round of qualifying to fight for the pole with another single-car, single-lap run.
