Neither driver was injured, but their cars were done. As Wallace bounced off, he hung a hard left and sent Larson spinning into the same wall. Larson admitted he inadvertently nudged Wallace into the Turn 4 wall at lap 93. VIDEO: Wallace Shoves Larson at Vegas NASCAR Race It was, by any measure, the most memorable moment of the day and ramifications are almost certainly to follow. Hendrick driver William Byron finished 13th, Elliott, a Hendrick teammate, was an uncompetitive and almost unnoticed in 21st, Team Penske’s winless Ryan Blaney ran exceptionally well until wrecking out late, and Christopher Bell of Joe Gibbs Racing was 34th.īell was innocently swept up into a Kyle Larson-Bubba Wallace crash that led Wallace to storm to Larson’s wrecked car and push him five times before officials interceded. None of the other four championship hopefuls fared especially well. Four in that group – Logano, Chastain, Briscoe, and Hamlin – are among the eight drivers still championship eligible with two more Playoff races before the season-finale at Phoenix. On Sunday, he drove away to win by 0.812 seconds over Chastain, Kyle Busch, Chase Briscoe, Denny Hamlin, pole-starter Tyler Reddick, Martin Truex Jr., Erik Jones, AJ Allmendinger, and Austin Dillon. In addition to the three victories, Logano has finished 10 races in the top-five and 15 in the top-10. He led only twice for 32 laps, but that included the final two after passing Chastain exiting Turn 4. He started fifth, ran up front most of the day, finished second in both the first and second stages, and came from 13th to win during the final 22 laps. The victory was Logano’s third this year, his third all-time at LVMS, and the 30th of his career. The South Point 400 was the first of the three races in the Round of 8 in the four-race elimination “tournament” that will determine a Series champion early next month. Logano powered past fellow championship contender Ross Chastain in the final moments to win the 267-lap, 400-mile race on the 1.5-mile track.
