The NASCAR Xfinity Series enters Round 4 this weekend, as the action now moves to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Quite a few drivers have gotten off to the right start in 2021, with some also targeting their first race win of the current campaign.

Weather conditions promise a perfect sunny evening for racing, with forecast predicting a 0% chance of rain. The green flag for the race is scheduled to be waved off at 4:38 PM Eastern Time.

The race consists of 200 laps on the 1.5-mile speedway track, making it a total distance of 300 miles to cover. While Stage 1 will end at Lap 45, Stage will end on Lap 90, leaving the competitors to fight it out for the race victory in the remaining 110 laps.

Myatt Snyder starts on the front row alongside Austin Cindric

After his win last week at Homestead-Miami, Snyder will join the 2020 Xfinity Series champ on the front row. Though it is just Snyder’s second season in the division, expect him to carry forward the momentum at Las Vegas as well.

Cindric, owing to his credentials, remains a strong contender at this racetrack, with top half finishes in 4 out of the last 5 races he competed in. The Team Penske will be itching to get another win this season, and his machinery could well comply to deliver some success at Vegas.

Senior drivers AJ Allmendinger and Jeb Burton can also be ones to watch out for. The latter in particular could guide Kaulig Racing to a deserved Top-5 finish, owing to his track record at the venue from his time in the Cup Series.

The rejigged schedule saw Las Vegas host two races last season, both of which were won by now Cup driver Chase Briscoe. In its first edition, the No.14 had the lead at various times, but captured control of the race on Lap 165, and stormed home to win the race.

Cindric for his best efforts finishes second in that clash, but could not do anything in the repeat at the same venue in September 2020. On that occasion, it was Noah Gragson who gave Briscoe a good battle. However, Briscoe’s machinery proved mightily powerful in the end and fended off the challenge.

Regardless, this year’s race at Las Vegas will see a new winner crowned any which way. If recent rounds are of any indication, then a contender could surprise us all out of the blue to win this contest.
