Get ready for a weekend of high-octane action as the NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series roar into Las Vegas Motor Speedway, kicking off their respective Round of 8 in the playoffs! But here’s where it gets thrilling: this desert showdown promises edge-of-your-seat racing, strategic pit stops, and the kind of drama only NASCAR can deliver. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a curious newcomer, this is your one-stop hub for all the race-week essentials—from qualifying orders and practice speeds to real-time results and more. Bookmark this page and check back often to stay ahead of the curve.
And this is the part most people miss: the tire strategy. Did you know the Cup Series drivers get ten sets of tires for the weekend, while Xfinity Series drivers only get six? That’s eight new race sets, one transferred from qualifying, and one for practice in the Cup Series, compared to four new race sets in the Xfinity Series. It’s a detail that could make or break a driver’s performance—and it’s just one of the many nuances we’ll be breaking down for you.
Controversial question: With the playoff pressure mounting, do you think tire management will be the deciding factor in this weekend’s races? Or will sheer speed and driver skill take the day? Let us know in the comments—we’re eager to hear your take!
