The NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series move into their third races of the season this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
While the Camping World Truck Series is off until April 1 (Martinsville), NASCAR Cup and Xfinity drivers will be busy Friday through Sunday. Brad Keselowski is the defending NASCAR Cup race winner at Las Vegas, while Kyle Busch is the defending Xfinity race winner.
