Previous: Nascar Pennzoil 400 in Las Vegas

Today March 3 of this year, the third date of the Monster Energy Nascar Cup Series will take place, which is named Pennzoil 400 on the track of Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In addition, in this race will be premiering the new aerodynamic package, which will be used in most of the season 2019 of the series. With this new regulation, the teams were testing how the cars behaved in the group, in the previous practices to the classification and the race, since they used the same package as at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but used front air ducts equal to those used in Las Vegas.

Among other changes for the race, it should be noted that the tire supplier brand for the category, Goodyear, made several changes in the choice of tires for this race, where the teams will have a new compound for Sunday's race. .

Now analyzing what the race can be is difficult, because of the changes described above, but nevertheless with the observed in free practice and classification, I see that the Chavy Brand drivers have improved a lot compared to last year due they have more experience with their model the Chevy Camaro ZL1. The teams of the Ford Brand, although they won the last race with Brad Keselowski #2, are not clear about the performance of their new Chasi Ford Mustang, who barely made his debut this season in the Daytona 500. As for the Toyota drivers, I see a bonus for the JGR driver, Kyle Busch #18, who won the Truck race on Friday and Saturday in the second division of Nascar, the Xfinity Series.
