Drafting in qualifying? Teams ran simulation runs in groups in the practice session earlier today. They’re drafting at a 1.5-mile track!
It’s going to be the most unique qualifying session to date for the NASCAR Cup Series.
Las Vegas Qualifying
Round 1 – Report
10 minutes: Top 24 advance
The green drops and everyone heads for the race track at the same time!
Larson is quickest early in round 1. He caught the draft from DiBenedetto. Larson just barely rubbed the wall off turn four. No problem, he still sits at the top.
Most of the field is out there in groups of two, three or four. Others are doing it on their own.
4 minutes remain, Austin Dillon sits at the top of the board. He ran that lap, by himself.
Austin Dillon wins round one of knockout qualifying at LVMS!

Las Vegas Qualifying
Round 3 – Report
5 minutes: Run for pole
The green is out and nobody is on track. They’ve all pulled to the end of the pit lane. 4 minutes remain, they still wait!
2 and a half minutes, the engines have been shut off as they wait on pit lane.
1 minutes remains, they’re four wide off the pit lane! Austin Dillon is passing on his qualifying lap!
Alex Bowman turned the quickest lap. However, that time has been disallowed as he did not make it to the starting line in time to start his lap.
Alex Bowman says the clock in his car said he made it to the green before 0:00 and he says the TV says the same. However, NASCAR has ruled that he didn’t make it.
Kevin Harvick takes the pole at Las Vegas Motor Speedway!
