NASCAR Cup grid visits the 1.5 miles-Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the third race of the regular season Penzoli 500. The Chevy-dominated track will again witness the battle among the constructor’s teams while the other two manufacturers’ battle for a win continues.

Richard Childress Racing driver Kyle Busch s the fan favorite going into the weekend. He will start the race at P5 on Sunday. Busch has scored a top 5 finish in the last 4 editions of his hometown race and holds the all-time record. Busch won last weekend at Fontana and has also won the Ruck Series event at Vegas on Friday. He also started the Xfinity Series event at his home track and scored a P5 finish.

The biggest miss of the weekend will be Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott who had a three-hour surgery to fix his fractured tibia following a Snowboarding accident. JR Motorsports driver Josh Berry will replace the 2022 Regular season champion on Sunday. He will start the race at the back of the grid following the unsanctioned modification to No:8 Camaro Zl1 to fit him.
