The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series continues today (Sunday, March 16) with the starting lineup for the Pennzoil 400 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway now fully set.

Christopher Bell has been dealt a huge blow in his effort to win four consecutive Cup Series races for the first time, with a mechanical issue on his car post-qualifying relegating him to the back of the field along with John Hunter Nemechek. Bell had qualified 13th.

Michael McDowell will start on pole in Nevada, Spire Motorsports' first pole position in the team's history. He's followed by Joey Logano and Austin Cindric, with last year's winner Kyle Larson starting 10th.

Ryan Blaney didn't set a time in qualifying, as a tire failure in practice caused him to crash and damage his car – opting to allow his team to repair his primary car rather than switching to a backup.

With all of that said, it promises to be an exciting, competitive race, and we've got all the details you need to know covered below.
