NASCAR has seen two different winners in the first two races with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. snapping a 199-race winless streak to win Daytona 500. The following week, Kyle Busch overcame a dominant Ross Chastain to win his 61st career Cup race, doing so in just his second start as a Richard Childress Racing driver.
Chastain, who has won three of the four stages so far in 2023, enters Vegas as the championship leader.
Joey Logano won during the series last visit to Vegas in October, 2022, but Alex Bowman is the defending winner of the March event.
All three national divisions will be present at LVMS for a triple-header weekend of racing. Busch will be running all three events.
