The third and final playoff round before the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Championship 4 is underway at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and eight drivers have a chance to become the first to punch a ticket to the winner-take-all championship round at Phoenix Raceway three weeks from now.
In two of the three years since the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Las Vegas, Nevada oval became the host of the semifinal round of the playoffs, the winner of the South Point 400 has gone on to become champion. On both occasions, it was Team Penske's Joey Logano who got the job done.
Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin took the pole position for Sunday's 267-lap race in Saturday afternoon's qualifying session, and teammate Chase Briscoe started beside him on the front row.
A full starting lineup, featuring six of the remaining eight title contenders, can be found here.
Follow along with our race updates from the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
