Sunday night features the fourth race of the chase at Las Vegas. The South Point 400 is raced on the 1.5-mile tri-oval. Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points for their position (20 for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 for 3rd, and so on).

Pick 1: Rapidfire Time Pick The Correct Drivers
As promised, we are taking more and more swings at the RapidFire contest, the past several weeks have been mostly successful so we try to string out three drivers for Sunday night's race.
With the second set of races beginning this weekend to determine the Round of 8, Las Vegas will give drivers their first crack at the automatic pass. Just win and you're in. Can Chase Elliott or Denny Hamlin win this week? It's not likely but possible. Both have had very fast cars on the Vegas track. Elliott, in particular, has had little or no luck with a litany of issues. Hamlin has almost been as hit or miss with just three top-tens in his last seven races on the 1.5-mile tri-oval.
The idea that Elliott is getting 1.5 points is quite intriguing. Neither driver figures to lead many laps here. This boils down to the place. If one believes the No. 9 car can finish near or ahead of Hamlin, then this prop has to be taken. If not, then one goes the other way to Hamlin.
Then, there is the ultimate risk between Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch. Both drivers have some success in Las Vegas. However, the 1.5-mile track has caused both of them some occasional issues. Larson actually has a better chance of winning this week as he starts first and has the fastest car among the Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver. This is nothing against Kyle Busch. On the other hand, Kyle Busch has one ace in the hole. He has Las Vegas in his blood as they say. It is an immense risk but speed interval-wise, the No. 18 car is right up there with the No. 5.
So, it's a cover bet here on both fronts.
The one time we take a risk here and go with Chase Elliott and the younger Busch is based solely on getting plus-points for both because of the RapidFire format.
RapidFire Picks: Kyle Busch (+2.5), Chase Elliott (+1.5)

Pick 2: More or Less Fantasy Points (2/2)
Recommended Prop Pick: Martin Truex Jr. MORE 15.5 Fantasy Points, William Byron MORE 14.5 Fantasy Points
This prop is a fun one because who knows how this week could turn out. Hell, both of these racers should come up close to the podium on Sunday night.
Luck has not been kind lately to either as we said. However, the feeling is Truex Jr. races just well enough here to maybe lead some laps and nab a top-five result. The same, in reality, go for William Byron. Byron showed last week he could run well in the long run late. That paved the way for not only a top-five result but he got all the way to third before the checkered flag was shown. The No. 24 and the No. 19 may be more highly sought-after for Monkey Knife Fight because of their attractive totals here.
These point totals are the most intriguing of the bunch we have seen for Sunday's race. The surprise Hendricks driver may just be Alex Bowman who ran in the top-five last week as well to make the Round of 12. Could it happen again? Anything is possible. The Hendricks are running well on this tri-oval and at least two of them expect to be in the top five positions when the race ends later Sunday night. The question becomes which ones.
Take the MORE anyway and look to other Hendricks drivers on Sunday night along with the MORE on Truex Jr.
