It’s a 50 minute session in the final round of practice for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. It’s the final chance to dial in the race cars for the first playoff race of the NASCAR Cup Series season.

The Big-3 of Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr and Kyle Busch have dominated the 1.5-mile NASCAR races so far this season. All three have yet to stand out on the times sheet this weekend.

This session will be the closest to the race in terms of track and weather conditions. It’s a big deal to get the car working for this session.

15 minutes in, Erik Jones sits at the top of the board. He’ll be starting the race from the pole on Sunday.

30 minutes into the session, Erik Jones remains at the top of the board. He’s trailed by Ryan Blaney. Six NASCAR Playoff drivers currently sit in the top 10.

Drivers are mixed on what line to run. Some run the bottom and others run the top. That’s a good sign for the race tomorrow.

1 minutes remains in the session, Erik Jones still sits at the top of the times sheet. Martin Truex Jr just jumped to 2nd on the 10-lap average times. Alex Bowman sneaks into the picture and takes over 2nd on the average speed sheet.

Erik Jones win NASCAR Cup Series final practice at Las Vegas Motor Speedway! He’s quickest in 10-lap averages at LvMS as well.

The green flag will drop on the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series SouthPoint 400 on Sunday. It’s scheduled to be a 267-lap race at the 1.5-mile track.
