Parker Kligerman and Swan Racing are entering Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend hoping to revive themselves from dismal finishes the past two weeks at Phoenix International Raceway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Now just a piece of dust to his big win on Sunday, Brad Keselowski also found himself victorious in Saturday's Nationwide Series Sam Boyd 300. For Keselowski, getting the win this year felt like redemption after the last couple of years. In his last two starts at Las Vegas prior to the win, he had come close - thought ended up finishing 23rd and 27th.
With already having locked in his Chase birth, there was a simple attitude going into Sunday's race at Las Vegas for Dale Earnhardt Jr. and crew chief Steve LeTarte - do what it takes to win, even if it takes trying out a game.
Three races in, and the story of the 2014 Cup season is the success of Dale Earnhardt Jr. He wins at Daytona, finishes second in Phoenix, and a hiccup in his fuel pick up was all that kept him from victory at Las Vegas. That and Brad Keselowski. Still, take a gamble, have it turn sour, and still come home second is not all that bad.
Brad Keselowski passed Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the final lap of Sunday’s Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to score the victory. Keselowski notched his 11th career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory after leading a dominating 52 laps of the 267 laps ran in ‘Sin City’.
Brad Keselowski sailed to victory lane on Saturday after leading a remarkable 144 laps of the 200 laps run in the Boyd Gaming 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He was able to do ‘donuts’ while holding the American Flag for the 28th time in his NASCAR Nationwide Series career and the first time at the tricky Las Vegas track.
After leading final practice yesterday, Ty Dillon survived the Knockout Qualifying format to win the Coors Light Pole for the Boyd Gaming 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with a lap of 29.625 seconds. It marks the first pole for the 22-year-old in his 15th start.
Hendrick Motorsports is the all-time leader in wins (10), top fives (39), stage wins (16) and laps led (2,770) at the 1.5-mile tri-oval and its 67 top 10s are tied for the most.
The NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) heads to Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS) for the South Point 400, the fifth race of the 10-race Chase, on Sunday, October 4 at 5:30 p.m. ET on USA.
The 2026 ARCA Menards Series East champion from Kannapolis, North Carolina, will compete in an expanded Truck Series schedule with Spire Motorsports in 2027.
