The 33rd race this season is the "Southern Point 400" on SUNDAY, October 16th at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Please make your picks before the start of the race.
Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a tri-oval track with a lap distance of 1.50 miles. 267 laps are scheduled for a race distance of 400.5 miles.
Another short history. #11 is the defending champion. D Hamlin won in 2021.
In 2020, Kurt Busch won.
In 2019, it was M Truex JR!!
In 2018, B Kezelowski had the honors.
This race is the first in the Round of 8. A bit of a shake up too. The #20 C Bell got to advance to the Round of 8 automatically when he won at the ROVAL.
Defending cup champion K Larson did not make the cut after finishing 35th at the ROVAL.
The current standings with the movement after the Round of 12 looks like this
#9 no change
#22 up 3 spots
#1 no change
#20 up 7 spots and still in
#12 down 4 spots
#24 up 3 spots
#11 down 3 spots
#14 up 2 spots
It is very tight towards the bottom. If we see a race with the disastrous results for some like what we saw at the ROVAL means it could be any one of the 8 advancing to the top spots after Martinsville (the 3rd race in the Round of 8.
Plus, don't discount what we call "spoilers"... so...time for me to put on my thinking hat....
My Las Vegas picks
D Hamlin <~~~ Needs to race hard...avoid trouble...have good pi stops...and all will be well....
C Elliott <~~~ Finished 20th at the ROVAL...was automatic to the Round of 8...time to get serious...NO coasting...
W Bryon <~~~~ Like gum on a shoe....this kid isn't going any where in the hunt for the Cup...it is in his sights...
R Blaney <~~~~ Jumped on his bandwagon last week....hanging in there with him one more time...
SPOILER ALERT!! K Larson <~~~~ nuff said...
My spare will be M Truex JR!!!
