The latest stop in the NASCAR Cup Series playoff hits Las Vegas on Sunday with high stakes. The one-and-a-half-mile track will play host to the entertainment capital of the world's annual NASCAR extravaganza featuring hometown racers like Kyle Busch and Noah Gragson and top drivers in the NASCAR Cup standings, Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, and many others.
For his part, NASCAR Cup leader Kyle Larson said he would love to win in Las Vegas, adding that it will be a challenge to take the South Point 400.
"The two times that I’ve gotten to be in the Final Four, we’ve won the opening race," Larson said. "Would love to do that next week, but obviously really, really tough.”
The South Point 400 isn't the only race to take to Las Vegas over the weekend as the Ambetter Health 302 is scheduled as a prelude to the South Point 400 on Saturday. That 201-lap, 300-mile race is part of NASCAR's Xfinity Series and will feature up-and-coming racers as they vie for a win at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The festivities will be televised on The CW Network and NBC for those who can't make it to the north Las Vegas valley for all the high-speed thrills over the weekend.
Here's a rundown of where to catch the high-octane action from the comfort of your living room.
