Ryan Blaney will lead the way in the Pennzoil 400 from Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon.

Being a part of Team Penske seems to suit Ryan Blaney just fine. After a strong 2017 season, for Wood Brothers Racing, Blaney has switched teams and picked up right where he left off, leading a ton of laps in the Daytona 500 and positioning himself for a strong run at Las Vegas Motor Speedway by winning his third career pole.

He’s joined in Row 1 by Kevin Harvick, who’s feeling so good these days he’s actually living up to his nickname. He dominated at Atlanta and doesn’t look like he’s slowing down much just because NASCAR is headed on its annual western swing.

Fords in general still look fast, holding down eight of the top 12 spots. Martin Truex Jr. (starting fourth) and Erik Jones (ninth) are the only Toyotas in the first six rows, while Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott hold it down for Chevrolet in Row 3.

FOX has the TV broadcast of the Pennzoil 400, with the green flag scheduled for approximately 3:46 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the full lineup for the race.
