Nascar Cup series in Las Vegas: Historical races on the cards. Date, key details here

Christopher Bell is looking for a historical victory in a row on Sunday when the Nascar Cup series for the Pennzoil 400 runs in Sin City. With a win in 2007, Bell would be the first driver since Jimmie Johnson, who won four races in a row. Only eight drivers have achieved performance in the modern era of Nascar (after 1972), and five of these drivers won the championship, including Johnson in 2007 and Jeff Gordon 1998.

The 30-year-old Bell has never won a race on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, although he finished second in two of the last three races.

Since Las Vegas is the first intermediate route on the schedule of 2025, the race gives its first real opportunity in both its number 20 Toyota number 20 and on the rest of the field to measure your car about the style of the race track, on which a large part of the schedule is controversial. Some of these races are among the most important times of the Nascar time plan, including the South Point 400 from October in Vegas.

Perhaps the biggest threat to end Bell's hot series on Sunday is the champion of the 2021 Cup series, Kyle Larson, who has won the “Diamond in the Desert” since his connected Hendrick Motorsport before the 2021 season. Larson's first victory with Hendrick came in Las Vegas and Larson in March 2021 and Larson claimed two of the previous three races on the route and won the South Point 400 and the Pennzoil 400 in March 2024 in October 2023.

Like Bell, Larson is looking forward to getting a real feeling for the kind of car he has on an intermediate distance this season.

Despite Bell's hot start into the season, it is actually William Byron, who will enter the points on Sunday with 13 points over Bell. Byron won the season opening daytona 500 in February and earned on the way to sixth place in Phoenix.
