Where to watch NASCAR today: TV channels, start time, schedule for the 2024 playoff race in Las Vegas

The NASCAR Cup Series rolls into Sin City for the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and after a chaotic weekend at the Charlotte Roval, the stakes are high.

Kyle Larson, who earned his sixth win of the season after defeating Christopher Bell, has his sights set on the next big prize in Vegas. With the Round of 8 officially underway, every lap counts as drivers fight to keep their championship hopes alive.

Last year, Larson took gold in this race, crossing the finish line first, with Bell and Kyle Busch close behind. This win was Larson’s fourth and final win of the 2023 season. If Vegas has taught us anything, it’s to expect fireworks.
