The high-stakes race of the NASCAR Playoff Series is here with the South Point 400; the first race of round 8 is happening on October 12.

Following a thrilling elimination race at the Charlotte Roval, the action now shifts to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the first race of round 8 of the playoff series.  Shane Van Gisbergen registered his fifth victory of the NASCAR Cup Series season in the Bank of America ROVAL 400 last Sunday. 

With four races to go in the season, the Round of 8 of the NASCAR playoffs brings the opportunity to seal their spot in the Championship 4 coming this weekend.  Last year's champion, Joey Logano, survived by four points in the round of 12 elimination race to make it to Las Vegas. The stakes will be high for Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, Chase Briscoe, and Chase Elliott at Las Vegas, who would look to keep their hopes alive in the mix.
