Chase Briscoe captured his seventh Cup Series triumph at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, crossing the finish line 1.3 seconds ahead of Kyle Larson.
White‑Hot Launch and Dominant Laps
Briscoe commanded the race from the start, leading 175 of the 267 laps and fending off a fiercely competitive field. He stayed in the top‑position long enough to convert his lap‑lead into a clean victory lap.
Race‑Ending Break‑Up
On the final lap, Larson veered into the wall at the exit of Turn 4 and swirled Tyler Reddick into an in‑field grass tangle. Despite the contact, Larson only managed a second‑place finish, while Reddick spun yet maintained third place.
Supporting Cast and Lead‑Lap Efficiency
Austin Cindric and Ryan Blaney rounded out the top five, both driving for Ford, and together the Delaware‑based chassis swept the top five spots. All 36 starters crossed the line, with 21 cars on the lead lap, underscoring the endurance of the event.
Competitive Landscape and Stage Highlights
During the event, seven different drivers took turns in the front: Briscoe, Denny Hamlin (39 laps), Cindric (33), Blaney (10), Christopher Bell (8), and 23XI teammates Bubba Wallace and Reddick (1 lap each). Hamlin’s run halted after a Stage 1 spin, illustrating the volatility of the competition.
Caution, Green‑Flag Run and Lap Leader Switches
Only four cautions occurred, totalling 21 caution laps, which means drivers enjoyed the majority of green‑flag racing. Twelve lead changes among seven drivers added to the pace, while the 21 caution laps maintained a consistent rhythm for the drivers to regroup.
