- Breast Cancer Awareness: As part of a team tradition, Ty Dillon will be honoring several women who have been affected by breast cancer with pink ribbons lining his No. 42 Chevrolet at the Las Vegas. The women highlighted are family members of Petty GMS employees directly associated with his team.
- From the Drivers Seat: Dillon’s thoughts on returning to LVMS:
“I really like the racing Las Vegas Motor Speedway provides. The place is fast, but it allows us drivers to search around for grip as the run progresses. I feel like the track suits my driving style, and we’ve been lucky to have found some success there throughout the years. In the spring, we had a decently fast No. 42 Camaro, but our intermediate program has improved a lot since then, so I’m excited to see what we can make of our return this weekend.”
Erik Jones, No. 43 FOCUSfactor Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
- Jones at Las Vegas Motor Speedway: With four races remaining in the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series, teams return to Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend for their second stop at the 1.5-mile track.
Erik Jones will make his 11-career Cup Series start at the track where he has three top-10 finishes with a best finish of eighth on two occasions (Spring 2018 and Fall 2020). Earlier this season the No. 43 team started the race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway from the 23rd position and looked poised for a strong finish before a late-race accident took the team out of contention and relegated the FOCUSfactor team to a 31st-place finish.
In the Xfinity Series, Jones has two starts with a best finish of third (2016) and seven laps led. In the Truck Series, Jones has one win (2014) where he led 19 laps on his way to victory lane.

- From the Driver’s Seat: “Las Vegas is a track that was pretty good to us earlier this year as far as our speed. I thought we had probably a top three car but had some issues throughout the day that kept us further back in the field. We drove through the field a couple of times and ended up towards the front at the end. I made a mistake and got myself in the wall and got us a DNF at the end of the day. That was early in the season, and I think we’ve gotten our cars even better since then and I’ve learned a lot since then as a driver with this car and what it wants. I’m excited to get back to Las Vegas and see if we have similar speed and can have another solid run.”
