Recent Las Vegas winners
Las Vegas has held two Cup races a year since 2023, and seven have been run in that time. Five different drivers won them.
| Date | Winner | Second | Third |
|---|---|---|---|
| March 15, 2026 | Denny Hamlin | Chase Elliott | William Byron |
| October 12, 2025 | Denny Hamlin | Kyle Larson | Christopher Bell |

| October 15, 2023 | Kyle Larson | Christopher Bell | Kyle Busch |
| March 5, 2023 | William Byron | Kyle Larson | Alex Bowman |
Christopher Bell has the steadiest record in that table without a win: five top-five finishes in seven races, two of them second place. Larson has four top fives and two wins. Byron has four top fives, the first of them his 2023 win.
Where the Chase stands going in
ESPN’s standings on September 24 had Kyle Larson first with 2,206 points and Hamlin second with 2,205, with Joey Logano and Bell 16 and 17 points back. Kansas on September 27 comes first, so the order can change before Las Vegas.
Our NASCAR picks this week page covers the next race each week, and it moves to Las Vegas once Kansas is run.
Reading a Las Vegas price
When the board goes up, read each price as a chance. A driver at +600 is priced at about 14.3%, and one at +2500 at about 3.8%. A bet on the winner is worth making only when you rate the driver’s chance higher than the price does.
