Following an exciting contest at Phoenix Raceway, the NASCAR Cup Series continues its westward swing with a date at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday (4 p.m. ET, FS1, HBO Max, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

The NASCAR Cup Series race at Phoenix Raceway turned into a long afternoon filled with cautions, tire failures, and constant strategy changes. The 312-lap event featured 12 caution flags that slowed the field for 86 laps and repeatedly reshuffled the running order.

NASCAR has issued its penalties from the weekend at COTA, and Ross Chastain finds himself on the disciplinary list. He lost a tire late in the Cup Series race.

It was a Team Penske party at Phoenix Raceway, as the prestigious organization celebrated its 60th anniversary in “perfect” fashion.

NASCAR returned to the Chase championship format this season and adjusted the scoring structure to place a greater emphasis on winning races. Drivers can now earn significantly more points for victories while still collecting stage points and other bonuses throughout a race.
