Kurt Busch won the Round of 12 opener in the South Point 400 in Las Vegas. He had a very promising track position late in the race, but it was still a high stakes haul for the driver. This victory earned him a position in the next found of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, giving him a guaranteed spot in the Round of 8. Denny Hamlin led a race-best 121 laps, but ended up finishing third, while Matt DiBenedetto, Martin Truex Jr. and Alexbowman rounded out the top 5 drivers that day.
