NASCAR qualifying results at Las Vegas Motor Speedway have officially set the stage for Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 Cup Series race. Before diving in, we should note that this is the first race of the 2026 season featuring only the 36 full-time drivers; notably, Justin Allgaier is driving in place of Alex Bowman in the No. 48 car, as Bowman remains sidelined with vertigo for the second consecutive race.
Let’s dive into the starting lineup for Sunday’s Cup Series race at Las Vegas. Below, you can find the full starting grid based on the qualifying results from earlier today.
