The NCS comes into Las Vegas after an exhilerating finish at Phoenix Raceway last Sunday, as Christopher Bell held of Denny Hamlin to secure his third straight win. It marked the first time since Kyle Larson in 2021 that a driver has won three consecutive races (Larson accomplished the feat twice that season).

Only a few short years after going from the short tracks of the southeast to earning his big break in NASCAR, Josh Berry earned his first NASCAR Cup Series victory in Sunday's Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
