NASCAR qualifying order for Cup Series at Las Vegas in 2026 Chase

NASCAR's 2026 Cup Series will compete at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the 31st race of the season, marking the final date at the venue for the year. While the spring visit to Las Vegas is also a part of the schedule, the 2026 event at the South Point 400 will be the final stop at the track. In 2025, Denny Hamlin claimed the pole position for the Cup Series race at Las Vegas, securing his third pole of the playoffs that season.

The qualification process for the Las Vegas event is straightforward. Each driver will participate in a single one-lap run, with their lap times determining the final starting lineup. There is no need to categorize the groups, as the inside or outside rows are not taken into consideration when setting the starting order. Instead, the metric system plays a crucial role in the qualifying process, which determines the order of the starting lineup.

As of now, the NASCAR qualifying order for the 2026 South Point 400 at Las Vegas has not been officially released. However, it is expected to be updated on Wednesday, September 30. The finalized qualifying order will be essential for fans and participants alike, as it will dictate the starting positions for the upcoming race.
