NASCAR Cup Series Qualifying Results and Complete Starting Grid at Las Vegas

Las Vegas Motor Speedway will play host to the fifth race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series schedule this Sunday afternoon, with the Pennzoil 400 set to take place on the fast 1.5-mile oval in Las Vegas, Nevada. As drivers prepare for 267 laps around this high-speed track, qualifying results have been finalized, setting the stage for an exciting race.

Qualifying Format at Las Vegas

This year, qualifying at Las Vegas follows a relatively straightforward one-round format, where the results from the single round of qualifying will determine the full starting lineup for the race. The qualifying order is determined by NASCAR’s four-variable metric, a system introduced in 2020. In this system, the qualifying order is arranged in reverse order based on a combination of factors, including previous race finishes, owner points, and other metrics designed to reflect the team’s performance over time. There are no longer groupings or row-by-row designations for oval races, thanks to a recent offseason rules change.

Despite the session being produced by Fox Sports, qualifying will not be broadcast on Fox or Fox Sports 1. However, fans can still access the full qualifying order, which is outlined below.
