Stock car races in the NASCAR Cup Series have been held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada since 1998.
Spring race
The Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube is the current name of the spring race. Denny Hamlin is the defending race winner.
History For several years, the race was sponsored by United Auto Workers and DaimlerChrysler. From its inception, the race was run at a distance of except 2009, which was 427 miles. The extra 27 miles in the 2009 race were added by the sponsors Carroll Shelby International.
The race is unique in that its winner receives a championship belt rather than a trophy. The race was also part of the No Bull 5 challenge from 1999 to 2002.
From 2001 until 2008, this race carried sponsorship from Chrysler. For the first six of those years, the race was known as the UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 to reflect the company formed by Chrysler's 1998 merger with Daimler-Benz. After Daimler sold Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management, the race became known as the UAW-Dodge 400 for the 2008 race. Carroll Shelby International took over as a sponsor for 2009 and 2010, with the 2009 race adding as part of the sponsorship in honor of the Shelby 427 Cobra; the 2010 race was known as the Shelby American. Lowe's, through its Kobalt Tools subsidiary, became the race's title sponsor for 2011; Kobalt was the title sponsor for the spring race at Atlanta until the track gave up its early-season date after 2010. The race was called the Kobalt Tools 400 from 2011 to 2013 before becoming the Kobalt 400 for 2014 to 2017. For the 2018 season, the race became the Pennzoil 400.

Fall race
The South Point 400 is the current name for the fall race. Chase Briscoe is the defending race winner.
History On March 8, 2017, it was announced that the fall race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway would move to Las Vegas Motor Speedway starting in 2018.
The fall race at Las Vegas would become the first race of the NASCAR Playoffs to replace Chicagoland Speedway, which moved back to July. The South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa, owned by semi-retired NASCAR driver Brendan Gaughan's father and LVMS partner Michael, became the title sponsor of the race.
In 2020, the race was held as the first race of the Round of 12 as part of a schedule realignment. In 2022, the race was moved to the first race of the Round of 8. In 2026, the race was moved to the fifth race of "The Chase".
