Although Cole Custer's career-defining moment in the Cup Series came when he made a four-wide pass for the win as a rookie at Kentucky Speedway in 2020 and Las Vegas is likewise a flat 1.5-mile track, he hasn't been too strong at Las Vegas, as his best finish is 16th and he has never led a lap there. He has also only posted an average running position of better than 25th once. To some extent, Stewart-Haas Racing really struggled on intermediates after his rookie season, so this isn't surprising, but even though Custer was solid on this track type in the Xfinity Series, the fact that Haas has now dropped from four cars to one suggests that they probably aren't very likely to run well on intermediates where horsepower is paramount. Custer might be worth a slight look if you think he'll have speed since he only costs $5,300 and is starting 26th, but it seems unlikely he will have speed.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
