The NASCAR Cup Series will hit the track Saturday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, practicing and qualifying on a 1.5-mile oval for the first time this season.
Pole position has been a poor barometer for the race winner at Las Vegas. Only once (Kyle Busch in 2009) in 34 races has a Cup driver won after starting first on the 1.5-mile oval.
Stage wins have been a good predictor for victory lane: Three of the past four winners at Las Vegas also swept the stages.
Hendrick Motorsports drivers have won five of the past eight CU rces at Las Vegas, including four consecutive in March.
Austin Hill is the only active Xfinity driver with a victory at the track.
