The lights in Las Vegas are about to get even brighter. The NASCAR Playoffs are coming to town and taking center stage at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Race action starts Friday with free admission to the speedway for the Hauler Parade and Xfinity practice and qualifying. Later that night, race action shifts to The Bullring for the zMax CARS Tour West Star Nursery Classic, where fans can attend for as low as $20 during pre-sale, and kids 12 and under can attend for free. On Saturday, NASCAR’s Cup Series hits the track first with practice and qualifying, followed by the Ambetter Health 302 NASCAR Xfinity Series race. The weekend concludes on Sunday with the South Point 400 NASCAR Cup Series playoff race.

The Cup Series is down to eight drivers fighting to get a spot in the final four. Kyle Larson comes into Las Vegas leading with +33, Christopher Bell follows just behind with +13, Tyler Reddick not to far behind with just +10, William Byron comes to LVMS just shy of the cutoff with +4, Ryan Blaney last year's champion trying to go back-to-back currently sits below the cut line with -4, Denny Hamlin follows closely with -8, Chase Elliott with an even closer margin at just -9 and Joey Logano at -11 after surviving the Bank of America ROVAL 400 just yesterday.
