It has been a busy week for Hendrick Motorsports, but with Chase Elliott missing today's race (surgery), the team delivered a 1-2-3 finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This is the third time in the organization's history that they have had a 1-2-3 finish. William Byron delivered the win fo🌠r Rick Hendrick, edging out Kyle Larson in an overꦿtime finish. Larson, who was leading before the caution came out with three laps remaining, had a slightly slower pit stop than Byron.
It was a fitting end for Byron, who dominated the race by leading 176 laps and sweeping the stages. "I am really confident about the group of guys that I have on this No. 24 team. They work extremely hard, and we spent a lot of time in the off-season just going through running the simulator with Chevy and running on iRacing and just trying to get better as a race car driver and as a team. It’s all about the team. It’s a great pit crew. When w💯e got back in traffic, it was a little bit tight, but we knew we had speed.”

ꦿWith the race being in Las Vegas, there was one driver inside the top-ten that decided to gamble at the end. Martin Truex Jr opted to not pit before the final 🧜restart, but he was unable to hold off the cars with fresh rubber. Byron got to his outside and checked out on the final lap.
Alex Bowman won this race a year ago, and followed it up with a solid third place finish today. Toyota drivers Bubba Wallace of 23XI Racing and Christopher Bell of Joe Gibbs Racing earned top-five finishes for their teams. Rounding out the top ten on Sunday were Austin Cind🍬ric, Truex, Justin Haley, Kevin Harvick, and Daniel Suarez.
Pole sitter and defending Las Vegas winner Joey 🔯Logano finished last, the only car who did not finish the race. The Team Penske driver got pushed high exiting Turn 4 in the final stage of the race and found the outside wall before spinning on the infield grass.
