In his 17 starts at the track, his best finish came in 2016 in the Xfinity Series when he led 17 laps and finished the race in second. Dillon has five top-10 finishes among the three series.
“Las Vegas [Motor Speedway] is a track that early in my career in the Cup Series wasn’t a very good track for me, but over the last three or four years, especially with the next gen car, I’ve seen mass improvements on results and confidence around the track. I’m feeling pretty strong, and I feel like this year we’re going to have a good opportunity to go in there and have a good run. I think Kaulig Racing always has good success at Las Vegas, especially in the Xfinity Series, so there are some good vibes around the racetrack. We had a good run last weekend at Phoenix, just some mistakes on my part that I need to clean up, but hopefully we can go into this weekend and have another solid day and keep improving on our No. 10 Sea Best Chevy.”

It will be a gamble on having tires going for the stage win but also having a set for a late-race caution. Hopefully the cards fall our way for us to be there at the end.”
