Just How Good Is Denny Hamlin On Low Tire-Wear Tracks?

Denny Hamlin will start 28th in Sunday's Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube. Throughout his Cup career, Las Vegas Motor Speedway has been a good track for the 20-year Cup veteran.

Harrison Burton has not qualified well at Las Vegas. The last couple races were near the final position. On Saturday, he turned in a lap more than 1.4 seconds off the pole of Joey Logano. The Wood Brothers Racing driver is on the hot seat and starting 36th is not ideal (33rd and 35th last […]

Donovan Mitchell Questionable Versus The Knicks

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Knicks.

Chris Buescher Starts Ninth At Las Vegas

Chris Buescher and the RFK Racing team got in a few solid runs on Saturday in the heavy winds. Buescher and his No. 17 Ford will start ninth on Sunday after a solid 29.52 second lap in the final round of qualifying. Buescher was right around the top ten or so cars in practice and […]

Justin Haley Will Start 35th At Las Vegas After Missing Qualifying

Justin Haley wasn't able to complete a qualifying lap at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday and will now have to start from 35th for this weekend's Pennzoil 400.
