The NASCAR Cup Series races on a 1.5-mile, non-drafting track for the first time in 2025 with Sunday's Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Michael McDowell is on the pole with Joey Logano joining him on the front row -- the first pole for McDowell since moving to Spire Motorsports.

Bell has the chance Sunday to become the first driver since Jimmie Johnson in 2007 to win four consecutive Cup Series races — an accomplishment that only eight drivers have achieved in the modern era of NASCAR that began in 1972.
