Aric Almirola will start from the pole position, while three-time New Hampshire winner Denny Hamlin will start alongside him on the the front row for the 301-lap, 318.46-mile race at the 1.058-mile track. The lineup for the race was determined by a random draw, with NBC Sports announcing the results online.
Both 2019 races at Kansas Speedway had green-white-checkered finishes and now NASCAR is hoping for another classic race to kick of the Round of 8 in the 2020 NASCAR Playoffs with the 2020 Hollywood Casino 400. The green flag drops at 2:30 p.m. ET on Sunday.
The green flag for Sunday night's NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas is scheduled to wave at 7:17 p.m. ET. For drivers, the later the start time the better considering the high in Las Vegas on Sunday will flirt with 100 degrees.
On the other hand, Nationwide Series tickets are $65 per person, which adds another $260- and it's not to mention that Kansas makes fans buy the IndyCar and Truck Series tickets along with them, and those alone were $50 last season. Thankfull, parking is free at the Speedway, which eliminates one cost.
Sunday night's NASCAR race at Las Vegas marks NBC/NBCSN's 14th broadcast of the season after Fox/FS1's slate ended with the July 15 All-Star Race.
Unlike Sunday, when Daytona 500 was supposed to happen, the start time of 4 p.m. ET for the Daytona 500 is the real start time. There will not be prerace ceremonies Monday, so expect the green flag to wave close to the 4 p.m. marker. Fox will broadcast Monday's race.
For the third time this season, the NASCAR Cup Series race will be shown on broadcast cable network NBC. Which is fitting for the annual night race at Daytona International Speedway, which in 2020 marks the last race before the start of the NASCAR playoffs.
Drivers raced just 20 of 200 scheduled laps before the rain returned, and NASCAR officials threw out a red flag, officially postponing the race around 6:50 p.m. ET. The remainder of the Daytona 500 is set to restart Monday at 4 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on FOX.

most 400 mile races are less than 3 hours or right on it. Caution free, probably about just under 3 hours. But yes 3-4 hours is the correct amount. Atlanta is one of the slower 1.5-mile tracks on long runs given how dramatically the tires fall off.
Most of the drivers don't use the diaper while racing. This is because drivers go to the bathroom before the race. Drivers also use salt tablets to avoid dehydration so the drivers don't have enough urine left to use a diaper.
As is the case for all the Cup Series races on NBC and NBCSN this season, Rick Allen will call Monday night's race at Texas with the assistance of analysts Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte. Viewers in Canada can watch the race on TSN.

(CNN) The Daytona 500 was postponed until Monday because of rainy weather at the Florida track, NASCAR said Sunday. "NEWS: Today's 62nd running of the #DAYTONA500 has been postponed due to inclement weather. The race will resume on Monday at 4 PM ET on FOX," NASCAR said on Twitter.
TV channel, green flag time for 2020 NASCAR opener. With a start time of 2:30 p.m. ET and the green flag scheduled to wave at 3:05 p.m. ET, the Daytona 500 likely will be a race that begins with plenty of Florida sunshine but ends at night. That's been the case for the Great American Race over the last few years.
