NASCAR Race Today: Las Vegas start time, TV channel, live stream and lineup

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs hit Las Vegas today - Sunday, October 12 - and we've got all of the details you need to know ahead of the action.

The South Point 400 will see the Cup Series stars complete 267 laps around the 1.5 mile quad-oval, with the playoff stakes increasing race by race.

Joey Logano snuck his way into the Round of 8 with some last lap dramatics at the Charlotte Roval last weekend, knocking the unfortunate Ross Chastain out despite a desperate late move.

After a close-fought qualifying session, Denny Hamlin will start Sunday's race from pole position as he looks to take his long-awaited first title. The Joe Gibbs Racing set the fastest time of all 38 drivers with a blistering lap, enough to beat out the other seven remaining playoff drivers, five of whom will line up directly behind him in second to sixth places.

However, none of those top six are Team Penske's playoff stars, with JGR locking out the top three and Hendrick Motorsports providing the next three cars in line.

Joey Logano will start ninth, with Hamlin's 23XI drivers Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick splitting him from the remaining postseason pack, leaving team-mate Ryan Blaney as the sole playoff driver outside the top ten, setting the 14th fastest time to leave a potentially crucial gap at the start of the race.
