NASCAR Publishes Las Vegas Weekend Schedule With Kyle Busch Classic

Network streaming rights determine playoff visibility for drivers

Overview

  • NASCAR released a full on-track timetable for Las Vegas Motor Speedway with the inaugural Kyle Busch Classic at The Bullring on Friday, the Focused Health 302 (O’Reilly Auto Parts Series) on Saturday and the South Point 400 (Cup Series) on Sunday.
  • Broadcasters and platforms are set: the Focused Health 302 will air on the CW, Cup practice and qualifying will be shown on truTV, the South Point 400 will air on USA Network and select in-car camera coverage will stream on HBO Max.
  • The published schedule lists specific practice, qualifying and driver-introduction windows for Saturday and Sunday, giving teams fixed time slots to finalize setups and crews time to plan pit operations.
  • Competitive context entering the weekend includes Kyle Larson holding a points lead after Kansas, Denny Hamlin chasing a third straight Las Vegas win, and Justin Allgaier carrying a ten-race top-10 streak while closing in on the track’s all-time laps-led mark.
  • The Craftsman Truck Series does not race at Las Vegas this weekend and will return at Charlotte next week, while Las Vegas’ recent pattern of repeat winners and late-race passes frames the strategic value of stage points and laps led for playoff positioning.
