NASCAR 2023 Las Vegas playoff schedule, entry list, and how to watch

A.J. Allmendinger earned an emotional victory for himself and Kaulig Racing last weekend at the Charlotte Roval, holding off William Byron in the closing laps.

Despite a valiant late-race charge through the field for Ross Chastain and Kyle Busch battling for the lead throughout the day, both were ultimately eliminated from the NASCAR Cup playoffs. Bubba Wallace and Brad Keselowski also failed to advance.

Tyler Reddick scored enough points to climb above the cut-line while regular season champ Martin Truex Jr. was the final driver to advance, moving on by 12pts over Chastain.

Joey Logano is the defending winner of the Vegas playoff race, parlaying that into the championship a few weeks later. However, it's Byron who is the most recent Vegas winner, taking the checkered flag in March of this year.

This week in the news, Carson Hocevar finally revealed his 2024 plans. He will compete full-time in the Cup Series with Spire Motorsports, replacing Ty Dillon behind the wheel of the No. 77 Chevrolet.

Legacy Motor Club added NASCAR legend Matt Kenseth as a competition advisor as they continue the rebuild process.

In the Truck Series, Marco Andretti announced that he will run the final two Truck races of the season with Spire. Niece Motorsports had an announcement as well, revealing Matt Mills as the replacement for the Cup-bound Hocevar in the No. 42 machine.
