NASCAR returns to Sin City for the first 2023 race on a 1.5-mile track and the first of two races this season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

After opening the season at the 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway then racing last week at the 2-mile Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, drivers will tackle an intermediate track as NASCAR moves into the second race of its West Coast swing.

It is also a homecoming for last week's winner, Kyle Busch, who scored the first win with his new team, Richard Childress Racing, at Fontana. The Las Vegas native has taken the checkered flag only once previously in 23 starts at his hometown track — winning from the pole in 2009 — but he has scored four consecutive top-four finishes, beginning with the 2021 spring race.

Here is all the information you need to get ready for Sunday's Pennzoil 400:
