It's race day in the NASCAR Cup Series today, Sunday, March 15, and we've got all of the timing, scheduling and TV channel information you need ahead of the action.
The Pennzoil 400 is set to see the Cup Series stars complete 267 laps of the 1.5-mile tri-oval in Nevada, with stage breaks on laps 80 and 165 before a 102-lap dash to the black and white checkered flag.
So far this season, only two drivers have tasted victory, with Tyler Reddick winning at the Daytona 500, Atlanta, and COTA, and Ryan Blaney taking the victory last time out at Phoenix.
However, that could all change on Sunday afternoon, with Joe Gibbs Racing looking particularly strong on Saturday afternoon in qualifying, locking out the top three for today's starting lineup.
Perhaps that should come as no surprise, though, given that it was Denny Hamlin who won in Las Vegas when NASCAR last hit the track in the fall. Josh Berry, meanwhile, was the winner of last spring's race at Las Vegas.
With all of that said, let's get into some more important details.
