Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 'Kobalt Tools 400' TV Times & Some Basic Stats

With that said, since 2006, Las Vegas has seen Jimmie Johnson win three races, Carl Edwards winning two and Kyle Busch slipping in there to take one title from the boys.

Kyle has historically enjoyed the pole, having nabbed it twice, brother Kurt, once, and that distinction of winning the pole was also shared with Greg Biffle, Kasey Kahne, and Matt Kenseth.

Over the last seven races in the Nevada desert, Jimmie Johnson has the best average finish of 10.4th.  (If that's a number!)  But the next few spots of best average finish is hotly contested amongst Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton and Kyle Busch.

But keep your eyes out for Jeff Gordon & Tony Stewart also.  I say that because if they're not attacked by bad luck, they could be contending for the win, as they are noted as two of the top three who have led the most laps here in Vegas.

Mark Martin has a huge stat in scoring top-10's, having, well, ten of them.  So keep an eye on that "kid."
