It has been a busy week for Hendrick Motorsports, but with Chase Elliott missing today's race (surgery), the team delivered a 1-2-3 finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This is the third time in the organization's history that they have had a 1-2-3 finish. William Byron delivered the win for Rick Hendrick, edging out Kyle Larson in an overtime finish. Larson, who was leading before the caution came out with three laps remaining, had a slightly slower pit stop than Byron.
It was a fitting end for Byron, who dominated the race by leading 176 laps and sweeping the stages. "I am really confident about the group of guys that I have on this No. 24 team. They work extremely hard, and we spent a lot of time in the off-season just going through running the simulator with Chevy and running on iRacing and just trying to get better as a race car driver and as a team. It’s all about the team. It’s a great pit crew. When we got back in traffic, it was a little bit tight, but we knew we had speed.”
With the race being in Las Vegas, there was one driver inside the top-ten that decided to gamble at the end. Martin Truex Jr opted to not pit before the final restart, but he was unable to hold off the cars with fresh rubber. Byron got to his outside and checked out on the final lap.
Alex Bowman won this race a year ago, and followed it up with a solid third place finish today. Toyota drivers Bubba Wallace of 23XI Racing and Christopher Bell of Joe Gibbs Racing earned top-five finishes for their teams. Rounding out the top ten on Sunday were Austin Cindric, Truex, Justin Haley, Kevin Harvick, and Daniel Suarez.
Pole sitter and defending Las Vegas winner Joey Logano finished last, the only car who did not finish the race. The Team Penske driver got pushed high exiting Turn 4 in the final stage of the race and found the outside wall before spinning on the infield grass.
