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.[1]
The fall race at Las Vegas will become the first race of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs to replace Chicagoland Speedway, which will move back to July.[2] The South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa, owned by Semi-retired NASCAR driver Brendan Gaughan's father and LVMS partner Michael,[3] became the title sponsor of the race.[4]
The 2019 race was moved to prime-time to make it more comfortable for both the drivers and fans due to the searing September heat with the race ending under the lights.
In 2020, the race was held as the first race of the Round of 12 as part of a schedule realignment.[5]
