The NASCAR Cup Series heads westward to Sin City for a postseason bout at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday (5:30 p.m. ET, USA, HBO Max, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
The 2026 contest will be the fourth of 10 races encompassing The Chase presented by Mobil 1 and the 31st points-paying event overall. Denny Hamlin, who currently sits second in the championship table, is the defending winner.
Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, enters Las Vegas on a scorcher, with four consecutive top-five finishes to begin The Chase and two victories in that same span, including a dominant victory at Kansas Speedway over the weekend. That Midwest triumph netted the defending Cup Series champion a 25-marker bump over Denny Hamlin and the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing camp, with Larson now 26 points clear of the other Chasers.
Thirty-six cars are entered into this weekend’s Chase race.
