A full house is expected at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday when the NASCAR Cup Series rolls through for its third race of the 2023 regular season, the Pennzoil 400.

The race promises to enrapture, not least because last week's Pala Casino 400 proved about as dull an event as NASCAR could put forth.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway's 1.5-mile circuit can be tricky, particularly once dust and debris start to build up. That should help make for a Sin City spectacle.

You best believe racers will put their cards on the table in hopes of capturing a hefty piece of hardware.
