00:00 >> Ford versus chevy.
00:09 Logano versus larson.
00:11 Green flag 400 miles away.
00:14 >> Whoa, big block by busch.
00:21 Looked like chase Elliott was trying to make a move.
00:23 That was close, Kevin.
00:25 >> Those restarts are going to be like that all day.
00:27 These guys know this is when the tires are the freshest.
00:30 There's all that apron down there.
00:31 It's very enticing.
00:32 You're going to see them three, four and maybe five wide today on the restarts.
00:37 >> A lot of three wide.
00:38 How about that?
00:39 >> Zane smith with a tire down.
00:42 >> He's got some sort of trouble.
00:44 >> We stay green.
00:45 >> I think he got in a wall.
00:46 It may be a bent link there.
00:50 Toe link.
00:51 Looks to me like he's been in a wall.
00:53 >> He drops to the apron in turn two and we stay green.
00:56 >> Right rear tire, guys.
00:58 Christopher bell.
00:59 >> Well, guys, this is exactly what we talked about in our meetings this morning.
01:03 It's kind of a gamble on that right rear tire.
01:04 How much load can I put through the bump stop and how low can I get the air in that right
01:10 rear tire.
01:11 Everybody is going to push it.
01:12 I don't know if this is that situation.
01:14 We know these guys want to run as little air as possible in that right rear tire.
01:18 This is the consequences that come with it sometimes.
01:21 >> These guys have to be aggressive with their laps, their blocks and things like that.
01:25 On a deficit of two tires, they lose that track position, they're going to be in trouble.
01:29 They'll be aggressive with this.
01:33 >> Three wide top, turn two.
01:44 >> For the second time in Las Vegas, that is Christopher Buescher's rfk racing Ford.
01:51 Watch the right front as he rolls through the banking here.
01:54 We'll see what happens.
02:02 >> A big lift right there already.
02:04 I think he knew something was going on.
02:06 What it was, that right front wheel falls off.
02:08 See the lug nut fall off right with it.
02:11 Wheel comes off.
02:14 >> That's great camera work by our guys to catch what is happening right there.
02:20 >> There's the lug nut and here comes the wheel.
02:22 The wheel is cut in half.
02:23 That was like that for a little bit.
02:25 You could tell he lifted hard and was already starting to slow down.
02:28 He felt it probably start to vibrate pretty violently and then it came off.
02:34 >> Hold your breath because Suarez, Mcdowell and Nemechek did not pit.
02:39 Suarez took only two tires when he pitted at lap 12.
02:43 Everybody behind them has either stickers or scuffed tires just put on.
02:48 >> I think those guys are going to get run over.
02:52 That's my prediction right here.
02:54 >> Kyle Larson is the first with four tires.
02:59 He restarts fifth.
03:00 Here we go.
03:01 >> I think he's going to get run over.

08:12 >> I think he's going to get run over.
08:13 >> I think he's going to get run over.
08:40 >> What we've got right now is we've got a mixed up field.
08:41 We've got the guys that stayed out in the front.
08:43 You've got the back half of the field that said the heck with it.
08:45 We're going to come in.
08:46 We're going to take a chance, put stickers on.
08:48 They drove right through the middle and around the outside with those new tires.
08:52 You might be mad.
08:53 I don't like the way you're racing.
08:54 >> Trouble turn two.
08:55 One car sliding, slamming into the wall.
08:58 >> Oh, no.
08:59 Corey Lajoie.
09:00 >> I think -- no, I think it wasn't down.
09:06 I can't -- let's back up and make sure he didn't get help.
09:09 >> He was crowding him right there.
09:10 >> It looked like he just lost it.
09:13 You heard the right rear tire pop.
09:16 As he's sliding with the brakes on, you heard the right rear tire pop inside the in car
09:21 camera.
09:22 >> Yeah, but I don't think he got help.
09:26 I think he just got loose.
09:28 It was pretty close to him.
09:30 But unfortunately -- >> Those little hits like that hurt.
09:35 You see the safer barrier move right there.
09:37 The in car cameras don't really do it justice, how that feeling feels for the driver.
09:44 >> Let's find out how this is going to end.
09:48 Kyle Larson, Ross Chastain, Reddick and Blaney in row two.
09:52 Hamlin, Logano, Elliott, Truex, green flag.
09:56 Look at the inside.
10:02 Reddick was going for it.
10:03 Blocked by Larson.
10:04 Now he's moving up.
10:06 Three wide, two rows deep.
10:08 Right behind the leaders.
10:11 >> Big run coming.
10:12 >> Wow.
10:13 Three Toyotas on the bottom.
10:14 Push comes to shove.
10:20 Chastain on the outside holding tough.
10:21 Off of four for the lead.
10:24 >> That's what everybody else wants to see.
10:26 They want to see Ross Chastain hold that five car up.
10:28 They know if he gets too far away, it will be tough to catch him in the shorter run.
10:33 >> Chastain, bottom to top as they enter turn one.
10:35 Here comes Danny Hamlin looking in the middle.
10:40 >> Still a lot of three wide.
10:43 >> We know Ross Chastain isn't going to go down without a fight.
10:46 We've seen it every week.
10:47 We've seen him do whatever he has to do to put himself in position to have a chance to
10:51 win.
10:54 Kyle Larson clears him.
10:56 Now these other guys need to get going.
10:58 >> Tyler Reddick moving around trying to figure this thing out.
11:00 Is he going to run him down?
11:01 He is closing the gap, folks.
11:03 He was a tenth faster that last lap.
11:05 See if he makes this outside line work.
11:07 He rim rode up down here in three and four last time.
11:09 There it is.
11:10 >> We saw this the last run, Clint.
11:12 Like we said, Kyle Larson took off.
11:14 Tyler Reddick gets up against the fence and starts to drive up towards Kyle Larson.
11:20 It seems like when he gets inside those four or five car length distances, he can't get
11:24 any closer.
11:25 >> Larson moving up.
11:26 Taking that air off of him.
11:31 He's catching him.
11:32 He's there.
11:33 He's figured out a little bit through one and two where he's running up the racetrack
11:36 about three quarters of the way.
11:38 >> He's blocking.
11:39 He's going to move up.
11:42 Reddick is committed to that fence.
11:44 Can he get to his outside?
11:45 It gets a little bit tight here.
11:49 The race is on.
11:50 Two laps to go.
11:56 >> Big time took his line there.
11:59 >> He tried to surprise Kyle Larson right there by going low.
12:02 And saw that in the mirror and was able to pull that car down the racetrack.
12:05 Tyler Reddick didn't lose a lot of time right there.
12:07 He still didn't lose the race.
12:09 >> Blaney a distant third but uncontested.
12:12 >> This one is going to hurt him.
12:13 >> Here they come.
12:15 Off turn number four.
12:16 Twice Larson and Reddick have finished one, two.
12:19 Larson the winner both times.
12:21 One lap to go sponsored by credit one bank.
12:24 >> That was all Kyle Larson putting his car in the right spot in front of Tyler Reddick.
12:28 He went to the bottom of the racetrack and lost all that momentum.
12:32 >> This whole race has been all Kyle Larson.
12:34 You put that kid behind the wheel of a race car like this at Hendrick motorsports and
12:38 he will get the job done.
12:40 Old-fashioned butt whooping all day long.
12:42 Kyle Larson.
12:43 >> Two of the best in the business come off turn number four.
12:48 Reddick got within a car length.
12:50 But Kyle Larson scores his 24th career win for Rick Hendrick and Chevrolet.
12:57 >> How about Ty Gibbs coming back up and getting a top five after the day he's had.
13:01 Chad Stain that gamble paid off.
13:02 Fourth place.
13:03 And Blaney third.
13:04 Champion.
13:05 Grounded out.
13:06 >> Noah Gregson sixth.
13:08 Great run.
13:09 Truex ahead of Hamlin for seventh.
13:11 Pole sitter Joey Logano and William Byron the top ten.
13:18 >> That was a rough top ten for William Byron.
13:20 He was all over the place on this racetrack today.
13:23 Pretty much every position at one time.
13:26 >> Big win for Kyle Larson.
13:27 You do not want to give this team confidence this early in the game.
13:42 >> The last five times that Kyle Larson has swept both stages, he also won the race including
13:48 today.
