Las Vegas isn’t any stranger to surprises
The Strip is a spot the place many a stranger has change into a good friend.
And vice versa.
However simply northeast of city, midway between Nellis Air Drive base and the Nellis Dunes, there is a that does not do surprises. In 34 Cup Sequence races since its 1998 debut, on all however two events, the checklist of race winners contains nothing however NASCAR Corridor of Famers and those that might be ultimately.
The final 5 have been gained by Joey Logano (twice), Kyle Larson (twice) and William Byron. The “different” two winners, by the best way, weren’t precisely mid-pack journeymen — Sterling Marlin throughout his greatest (but abbreviated) season in 2002 and Alex Bowman three seasons in the past.
TOO MANY SCHEMES:
It kinda bodes effectively for Christopher Bell as he makes an attempt to change into simply the second Cup racer to win 4 of the season’s first 5 races. But in addition for all these different upper-tier racers and groups trying to get victory out of the best way and safe their playoff berth.
And guess what … it is all on coloration TV.
