NASCAR Cup teams took on Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the first time this season Sunday afternoon in a race that Kyle Larson won after dominating.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver scored his third Las Vegas win after leading 181 laps and sweeping the stages. Tyler Reddick, Ryan Blaney, Ross Chastain and Ty Gibbs scored top-five finishes.

There were six cautions — two for stage breaks — totaling 35 laps. The four in-race cautions were for single-car incidents.
The Cup race had 24 lead changes as 15 drivers led laps. This includes Derek Kraus, who led two laps in his first-ever Cup start for Kaulig Racing. No drivers other than Larson led more than 18 laps.
There were 31 cars that finished on the lead lap Sunday at Las Vegas. Chris Buescher was the only driver who failed to finish the race after a lost wheel sent the No. 17 Ford into the outside wall on Lap 27.
Chevrolet drivers have achieved success through the first three races of the season. William Byron won the Daytona 500, Daniel Suarez won last weekend’s race at Atlanta and Larson won at Las Vegas.
Next up is Phoenix Raceway on March 10, a track where Chevrolet drivers swept the races last season. Ford drivers swept the Phoenix races in 2022.
