Chase Briscoe Takes the Checkered Flag at the 2026 South Point 400!

What happens in Vegas… speeds around the track at nearly 200 miles per hour! This week on Coast to Coast with Heather Dawson, we packed our bags and headed to the entertainment capital of the world to bring you all the action from the 2026 NASCAR South Point 400.

The Nevada desert heat was intense, and the racing was absolutely world-class as drivers battled it out under the glittering lights of Sin City. Coast to Coast correspondent Jason Rasula was on the ground at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway to capture the heart-pounding highlights and all the incredible fan energy!

When the dust finally settled and the checkered flag proudly waved, it was Chase Briscoe who emerged victorious! Briscoe masterfully outmaneuvered the fiercely competitive pack to claim his rightful spot in the winner’s circle, marking his second win of the season and his 16th top-10 finish in 2026.

“We were able to truthfully execute,” Briscoe shared trackside. “I feel like a lot of the guys that were going to be competitors kind of eliminated themselves or just made their life way harder, and we were just able to maintain our track position and had a really fast car.”

It was mainly a clean race, with Kyle Larson finishing a close second (just 1.3 seconds behind Briscoe) and Tyler Reddick taking third. While there were a few minor incidents—including Zane Smith spinning out on turn four and some debris in the pit entry lane—fans were thrilled with the experience. The event also featured a touching tribute, with fans honoring the late Kyle Busch, a highly successful driver hailing right from Las Vegas.

Join us as we celebrate Briscoe’s massive, hard-fought win and soak up the unmatched atmosphere of NASCAR in Las Vegas!
