Las Vegas Motor Speedway is scheduled to host the Pennzoil 400, race number five on the 36-race 2025 NASCAR Cup Series schedule, this Sunday afternoon.

Qualifying for this 267-lap race around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Las Vegas, Nevada oval is relatively straightforward. It is one round, and the results of that round determine the full starting lineup.

The qualifying order was determined by the four-variable metric that NASCAR introduced back in 2020. A full description and breakdown of that formula can be found here.

Drivers simply line up in reverse metric order; there are no longer any sort of qualifying groups for any oval races after an offseason rules change, meaning that there are also no longer any row-by-row designations.

A full qualifying order is available here.

Though the session is being produced by Fox Sports, qualifying is not being shown on Fox or Fox Sports 1.
