AmericaJR’s Jason Rzucidlo was LIVE at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Pennzoil 400 race. William Byron captured the checkered flag after a caution that sent the race into overtime. It was Byron’s fifth win in the NASCAR Cup series and the first of the 2023 season. He beat his teammate Kyle Larson by a margin of 0.622 seconds. Hendrick Motorsports finished the race with the top three finishers going 1-2-3. Kyle Larson was leading laps 228-265 and it appeared he would cruise to an easy win. That’s until the caution came out after Aric Almirola spun out in turn four.
