Carson Kvapil aiming for big points day at Las Vegas in the Chase

Carson Kvapil is aiming for a significant points day at Las Vegas in the Chase, trailing leader Sheldon Creed by 37 points with six races remaining. Currently in third place in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Chase, Kvapil has amassed 2,198 points. At Bristol, Kvapil had a strong performance, winning Stage 2 and leading 156 laps.

However, smoke began trailing from his No. 1 JR Motorsports Chevrolet with 44 laps to go, leading to a mandatory pit stop. This misfortune cost him 24th place, a disappointing turn of events after a potential points-gaining race. Despite this setback, Las Vegas offers Kvapil a chance to recover. At the track in March, Kvapil finished 11th, earning 27 points.

In the standings, Kvapil is 26 points behind second-place Justin Allgaier, but holds a four-point advantage over Jesse Love for third. A successful weekend in Las Vegas would help stabilize his championship bid following the disappointing Bristol race.
