Get ready for a weekend of high-octane action as the NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series roar into Las Vegas Motor Speedway for their respective Round of 8 playoff races! But here’s where it gets thrilling: this desert showdown isn’t just about speed—it’s about strategy, tire management, and the relentless pursuit of victory. Bookmark this page and check back often for all your race-week essentials, from qualifying orders to practice speeds, results, and more. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a curious newcomer, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to stay in the loop.
And this is the part most people miss: the tire strategy. In the NASCAR Cup Series, drivers will have ten sets of tires for the weekend—eight new race sets, one transferred from qualifying, and one for practice. Meanwhile, Xfinity Series drivers will manage with six sets—four new race sets, one from qualifying, and one for practice. Why does this matter? Tires can make or break a race, and how teams allocate them could be the difference between victory and defeat. Controversial question: Is tire conservation the key to winning, or should drivers push hard from the start? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
