How to watch Sunday's Cup race at Las Vegas: Start time, TV info and weather
Christopher Bell will try to continue his historic run at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
After victories at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Ciricuit of The Americas and Phoenix Raceway, Bell is poised to become the first driver since Jimmie Johnson in 2007 with four consecutive wins.
Bell still is seeking his first Cup win at Vegas but has dominated recently at the 1.5-mile track. Last October, he qualified first and led a race-high 155 of 267 laps but finished second. He also finished second from the pole position in the Oct. 15, 2023 race.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is trying to become the first since Bill Elliott in 1992 to win four of the first five races. Bell already is the first to win three consecutive races in the Next Gen era.
There have been eight drivers with four consecutive victories in NASCAR's premier series: Cale Yarborough (1976), Darrell Waltrip (1981), Dale Earnhardt Sr. (1987), Harry Gant (1991), Elliott (1992), Mark Martin (1993), Jeff Gordon (1998), and Johnson (2007).
