The Xfinity Series will set up its first Dash4Cash this season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where the four best eligible finishers will compete for a $100,00 bonus in the March 22 race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
There will be no repeat winner in Saturday’s race (defending winner John Hunter Nemechek isn’t entered) in a familiar trend at Las Vegas. Austin Hill is the only active Xfinity driver with a victory at the 1.5-mile track, where the past six races had six different winners
The past three Xfinity races at Las Vegas have been won by the driver leading the most laps.
The race will be televised on The CW Network, which is in its first full season as the Xfinity Series’ exclusive broadcaster.
