RACE RECAP

Kyle Larson delivered a commanding performance in the The LiUNA at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, converting a 2nd-place starting position into a trip to victory lane. The No. 88 led 47 laps on the day and scored 69.7 fantasy points.

Chase Briscoe (No. 19) finished second after starting 23rd โ€” an impressive climb of 21 positions, while Sheldon Creed (No. 00) completed the podium in third. The stage battles added another layer of intrigue: Justin Allgaier captured Stage 1 and Justin Allgaier won Stage 2. The race featured multiple lead changes among several drivers โ€” Justin Allgaier led a race-high 48 laps but couldn't convert track dominance into the victory. The intermediate-track challenge of balancing speed and endurance tested every team's preparation and in-race adjustments.

The biggest mover of the race was Chase Briscoe (No. 19), who charged from 23rd to 2nd โ€” a gain of 21 positions that made the No. 19 one of the top fantasy value plays. Kyle Sieg also impressed, climbing from 29th to 14th.

The race wasn't without drama โ€” 3 drivers failed to finish. Taylor Gray (started 6th) was collected in an accident after completing 148 laps. From a fantasy perspective, Kyle Larson led all scorers with 69.7 points, followed by Justin Allgaier (57.8) and Chase Briscoe (52.2).
