Joey Logano certainly has Las Vegas Motor Speedway figured out. The reigning series champion posted the fastest lap during the final round of qualifying today to earn his second pole at the track and the 27th of his career. Logano is also the defending race winner here, and has won three of the last eight races at Las Vegas.

"This is a good car," Logano said. "In practice I noticed it was pretty good and in qualifying I told crew chief Paul Wolfe that we have a heck of piece here. It’s just a really fast car. Hopefully, the speed translates over to the race. But the number one pit stall is always nice. As you get toward the end of these races, you want to get up there. We’ll see if we can transfer it to another win."

Chase Elliott is not racing this weekend, as the 2020 series champion underwent surgery last night for a broken leg suffered during a skiing incident. Hendrick Motorsports has Josh Berry in the No. 9 Chevrolet this weekend, who qualified 32nd today. The team does not yet have a timetable for when Elliott will return.

All three Team Penske cars qualified inside the top nine on Saturday. William Byron will join Logano on the front row tomorrow. Ryan Blaney and Ty Gibbs qualified in Row 2, with Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch just behind them. Brad Keselowski, Ross Chastain, Austin Cindric, and Christopher Bell rounded out the top ten in the final round of qualifying.

This was the first top-five qualifying performance for Gibbs in the Cup series. Tyler Reddick's miserable start to the season continued today as he was not able to qualify as the 23XI Racing team changed out the engine on his Toyota. Harrison Burton also did not get to make a qualifying attempt after he crashed hard during practice due to a mechanical issue. The team is rolling out the backup car for tomorrow's race.
