Kevin, Jeff, and Sky are back to break down all the action from the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Cup Series.

It was a big night for Denny Hamlin, who powered his way to victory lane to capture his 61st career Cup Series win, moving past Kevin Harvick for 10th on the all-time wins list. The win didn’t come easy — Hamlin had to battle back from a pit road speeding penalty and hold off a hard-charging Chase Elliott late in the race to secure his first victory of the 2026 season.
