2025 NXS Focused Health 302 Las Vegas Starting Lineup Revealed
Justin Allgaier Takes Pole at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in NASCAR Xfinity Series
JR Motorsports Dominates NASCAR Xfinity Series
At the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Justin Allgaier, defending champion of the NASCAR Xfinity Series and driver of the No. 7 BRANDT Fresh Agriculture Chevrolet, captured the pole position for Saturday’s Focused Health 302. Allgaier impressed with a remarkable lap in the late stages of qualifying, clinching his 12th career pole and second of the 2025 season for JR Motorsports.
Key Qualifying Achievements
Allgaier’s qualifying lap of 30.157 seconds (179.063 mph) secured his spot at the front, delivering his first pole on a mile-and-a-half track since the 2023 Playoffs at Kansas Speedway. Despite a less-than-perfect final set of corners, his performance was enough to outpace the competition and lead the field.
Exciting Line-up Behind Allgaier
Connor Zilisch will join his teammate on the front row, marking his 15th front-row start in the series for 2025. Zilisch, a confirmed NASCAR Cup Series rookie for 2026 with Trackhouse Racing, is aiming to secure his spot in the Championship 4 with a win at the Focused Health 302. With 10 victories this season, he is a strong contender.
- Brandon Jones: Starting third, winner at Kansas Speedway.
- Aric Almirola: Fourth place, driving the No. 19 YoungLife Toyota GR Supra.
- Nick Sanchez: Completing the top five.
The Competition Heats Up
The remaining top 10 qualifiers include Jesse Love, Christian Eckes, Taylor Gray, Carson Kvapil, and Sheldon Creed. However, not all playoff contenders secured a top-10 spot. Sammy Smith and Sam Mayer will start 15th and 16th, respectively.
Meet the Challengers
Two standout performers, Corey Day and Harrison Burton, faced challenges during qualifying. Day, despite being one of the fastest in practice, encountered difficulties in Turns 3 and 4, placing him 19th for the race.
