Official race results: 2026 NASCAR Cup Las Vegas II

Chase Briscoe clinched his seventh career NASCAR Cup Series win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, finishing 1.3 seconds ahead of Kyle Larson. However, the race had a dramatic finale involving a collision between Larson and Tyler Reddick at the end of the final lap. Despite Larson crossing the finish line in second place, Reddick ended up third after spinning through the infield grass.

Seven drivers changed the lead throughout the race, with Briscoe leading the most laps at 175 out of 267. Denny Hamlin led 39 laps before his race ended due to a Stage 1 spin, while Cindric and Blaney led 33 and 10 laps respectively.

All 36 starters finished the race, with 21 drivers finishing on the lead lap. The Ford vehicles were leading the pack, showcasing their performance throughout the event.
