Live Fast Motorsports, which participated in last weekend’s Phoenix race with Katherine Legge driving the No. 78 Chevrolet, will not be competing in Las Vegas. The No. 78 car was the only open (non-chartered) entry at Phoenix.

For this weekend’s race, all 36 entries are chartered, meaning there will be no open cars on the grid. The last time a Cup Series race featured only chartered cars was last August at Michigan International Speedway. This will end a 16-race streak of having more than 36 cars, the longest such streak in the Next Gen era.
