NASCAR travels to Las Vegas on Sunday, March 5 for the Pennzoil 400. The race will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

When Kyle Busch emerged from his No. 8 Chevrolet following his victory last Sunday at Fontana, he was greeted with cheers.

The applause continued as Busch did his signature bow, and the feeling is new for him.

Busch has long played the NASCAR villain, but the two-time Cup Series champion is finding that fans are starting to come around to him.

His next opportunity is Sunday’s Pennzoil 400. Busch qualified fifth with a speed of 184.489 mph.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway is his hometown track, but even here, Busch hasn’t been fully embraced.

Kyle Busch, who won Friday’s Truck series race at Las Vegas, is the all-time leader with 226 victories in all three NASCAR series.

Preview

CHASTAIN KEEPS MOMENTUM: Ross Chastain has won three of the first four stages this season and leads the standings with 92 points.

He has built on the success of last season, when he finished second in the Cup standings. That was quite a jump from 2021 when Chastain was 20th, which itself was a notable leap from 43rd the previous year.

“Rolling into this year, we’re not resting on what we accomplished last year,” Chastain said. “Nothing is guaranteed in this sport and in life.”

Now it’s a matter of Chastain turning his strong performances into victories. He was ninth in the Daytona 500 and third at Fontana.

Maybe he can take the next step in Las Vegas. Chastain qualified eighth in the Trackhouse Racing No. 1 Chevrolet at 183.755 mph.

He has run well at Las Vegas with two top-five finishes, but said the track doesn’t particularly suit his skills.

“I study it like every other track, and I studied it harder this week leading into this race than I ever have before because I have more tools at my disposal than I ever have before,” Chastain said. “I don’t have answers. It doesn’t really feel any different when I’m on track. There’s not like a magic feeling I have where I know what I need in my racecar.”

ODDS AND ENDS: Busch is a 13-2 favorite, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. … Brad Keselowski, who has won three times in Las Vegas, is at 20-1. “I think we’ve got a shot at it,” he said. “I saw the odds got published, and I smirked a little bit. I really would like to make an oddsmaker pretty sad this weekend.” … Alex Bowman is the defending champion. “Probably coulda-shoulda-woulda won two or three of them here,” he said. “Backed into one last year.”
