The NASCAR Cup Series arrived at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and the drama was through the roof. Tyler Reddick won Stage 1 but ended up on his roof after contact with Chase Elliott and Martin Truex Jr. Christopher Bell had the dominant car as he won Stage 2; however, it was another playoff shocker in the opening Round of 8 event.

With help from teammate Ryan Blaney, Logano was able to pass Daniel Suarez and build a big enough gap to the hard-charging Bell, who had pitted from the lead earlier in the Final Stage.

Logano, who wasn’t even in the Round of 8 at the checkered flag at the Charlotte ROVAL, will now fight for his third Cup Series championship at Phoenix Raceway in three weeks. Bell comes up just short of a Championship 4 berth but will look forward to Homestead-Miami Speedway as another opportunity.
