The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Las Vegas Motor Speedway Sunday for the South Point 400, the fifth race of The Chase. The race will feature 267 laps around the 1.5-mile oval, with the stages ending on laps 80, 165 and 267.

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Bristol Motor Speedway Saturday night for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race, the third race of The Chase. The race will feature 500 laps around the 0.533-mile concrete oval, giving us one of the largest dominator-point pools on the entire schedule.
