NASCAR will go west for its next set of races, as it heads to Las Vegas, Nevada. The Cup Series will wrap up race weekend with the 2024 Pennzoil 400 on Sunday, March 3. The day before, the starting lineup will be determined when the Cup Series goes through qualifying at 2:50 p.m. ET on FS1.
The Las Vegas Motor Speedway will utilize the single-lap qualifying format. The field will be split into two qualifying groups, and each will get a 15-minute warm-up/practice round. Then, the drivers in Group A will run a single-car, one-lap qualifier and the five fastest drivers will advance to the final round of qualifying. This process will be repeated with the drivers in Group B and its five fastest drivers also advancing to the final round.
The 10 remaining drivers will run a new, single-car, one-lap qualifier to determine the first five rows of Sunday’s starting grid. The fastest driver in the final round will earn pole position.
The rest of the field is determined in a new way for 2024. The drivers that didn’t advance to the final round from Group A will be assigned an even-numbered starting position, while drivers that didn’t qualify from Group B will be assigned an odd-numbered starting position.
