NASCAR at Las Vegas live race updates, results, highlights from the Pennzoil 400

Vegas, baby.
After three races to start the season in the “Sunshine State,” NASCAR drivers swing west for the Pennzoil 400 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
It hasn’t been the usual suspects to win races this year, with Michael McDowell, Christopher Bell and William Byron all taking home checkered flags this year, Denny Hamlin, who was knocked all the way to the back of the pack for an unapproved adjustment in last weekend’s race in Homestead, fought all the way back up into the top 10 before finishing 11th.
Kevin Harvick, who finished fifth last week and has three top-six finishes this year, sits atop pole entering the fourth race of the season.
