Description

The 2019 South Point 400 is a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race held on September 15, 2019 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas. Contested over 267 laps on the 1.5 mi (2.4 km) asphalt intermediate speedway, it was the 27th race of the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, first race of the Playoffs, and the first race of the Round of 16.

Martin Truex Jr. captures victory in playoff opener at Las Vegas. It had been almost three months since Martin Truex Jr. last raised a trophy, and while others may have wondered about his No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota team’s playoff potential, its members never wavered in confidence or pursuit.
And sure enough, they were the ones celebrating in Victory Lane at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after Sunday night’s South Point 400 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs opener. It was Truex’s fifth victory of the year and an automatic ticket to the next round of the playoffs.
As strong as Harvick’s Ford had been – leading 47 laps – he said afterward he really didn’t have much for Truex in the end.
The top 10 drivers were all playoff competitors. Three-time Vegas winner Brad Keselowski was third in the No. 2 Team Penske Ford. Hendrick Motorsports’ Chase Elliott brought his No. 9 Chevrolet home fourth, and Harvick’s Penske teammate, Ryan Blaney, was fifth.
