Chevrolet Starts 2024 NASCAR Season with Winning Streak in All National Divisions – Sky Bulletin

Two initial weeks into NASCAR’s 2024 season have seen Chevrolet dominate the winner’s circle at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with an impressive streak across all tiers of competition.

Chevrolet’s triumphs aren’t confined to the elite Cup Series, where Daniel Suarez of Trackhouse Racing claimed victory in a nail-biting, three-wide finish last week at Atlanta, and William Byron secured a prestigious win at the Daytona 500 representing Hendrick Motorsports.

Additionally, Chevrolet’s prowess extends to the two other national series. Nick Sanchez and NASCAR icon Kyle Busch clinched the first two Truck Series victories for Spire Motorsports. In the Xfinity Series, Richard Childress Racing’s Austin Hill has kicked off the season with back-to-back wins at Daytona and Atlanta.

It’s an unprecedented start to the season, marking the first time a manufacturer has swept the opening two weekends of NASCAR’s competition across all its series. Furthermore, Chevrolet’s Daytona domination echoes its 2018 performance, underscoring its consistent supremacy at the storied track.

Stretching back to The Roval at Charlotte Motor Speedway last year, Chevrolet has taken at least one trophy home each NASCAR weekend. However, the upcoming races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway offer a different challenge, as unlike Daytona and Atlanta, it’s a conventional 1.5-mile oval—providing a more telling gauge of Chevrolet’s performance against rivals Ford and Toyota.

The steadfast Chevrolet showed remarkable results at Las Vegas previously—with Byron and Larson securing wins last year—and Austin Hill seeks to maintain his momentum. Nonetheless, competitors from Ford and Toyota are anxious to showcase their new cars’ potential after Chevrolet outpaced their 2024 models.

Riley Herbst and Bubba Wallace are among those aiming to break Chevrolet’s streak, signifying the lively competitive spirit despite the early-year dominance by Chevrolet.

Las Vegas local and Cup Series points leader, Kyle Busch, returns to his turf eager to clinch a win with a sturdy track record behind him. Despite a solitary Cup win in 2009, he remains a formidable contender with multiple top-five finishes at this venue.

With bookmakers favoring Kyle Larson as the top contender for the upcoming race, the air is rife with anticipation and speculation—will Chevrolet’s winning run continue?

Queries about which drivers qualify for pole position and historical precedence of successful starting spots add another layer to the unfolding drama. With strategies and skills put to the ultimate test, the stage is set for another exhilarating NASCAR race at Las Vegas.
