The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs hits its version of the elite eight with a shootout in Sin City.

The three-race third round begins on the fast oval at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after four more drivers were eliminated from championship contention last weekend on the Charlotte Roval. And Sunday's race is wide open.

Joey Logano is the only one of the eight drivers remaining to win more than one race at Las Vegas — back-to-back spring races in 2019 and 2020. Denny Hamlin is the only other championship contender with a Vegas win, taking the checkered flag ahead of Chase Elliott at last year's playoff race.
