NASCAR: 2024 Las Vegas qualifying updates, full starting lineup

Back-to-back superspeedway/drafting races at Daytona International Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway, respectively, opened up the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a much more traditional mile-and-a-half oval (compared to the repaved and reconfigured Atlanta Motor Speedway), is scheduled to host this Sunday afternoon's race.

The Pennzoil 400 is scheduled to be a 267-lap race around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Las Vegas, Nevada oval. Hendrick Motorsports have won the last three March races at the track, with William Byron being the reigning winner.

Kyle Larson, the 2021 winner, also won the playoff race there last year and is thus the most recent winner at the venue. Alex Bowman won in March 2022.

With the Pennzoil 400 not being a superspeedway race like the season's first two races, NASCAR is set to use a group qualifying format to set the starting lineup.

The qualifying order for the two groups was determined by the metric/formula (full explanation here), and the fastest five drivers in each group advance to the 10-driver shootout for the pole position.
