Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway | Ambetter Health 302 Race Recap: The 30th race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season kicked off in a return trip to Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway on Saturday, October 19, 2024.
In his Las Vegas return, Lupton immediately showcased speed with his No. 15 Lupton Excavation | AirBox Ford Mustang, posting a top-10 during his group run before landing 22nd overall at the end of the quick 15-minute session.
Lupton improved on his practice time to qualify a Las Vegas Xfinity career-best 21st.
From the drop of the green flag, it initially appeared that Lupton would have a fast enough car to contend for a top-15 finish.
However, the team encountered tire issues in Stage 1 and Stage 2, which hindered the team’s on-track performance, including making slight contact with the wall.
A gallant effort by the AM Racing team to combat the tire issues, the car responded to aggressive chassis adjustments in Stage 3 that allowed Lupton to rebound to take the checkered flag in the 27th position for the second consecutive week.
From the Pit Box: Industry veteran Ryan “Pickle” London is Dylan Lupton’s crew chief.
He will be crew chief for his 31st NASCAR Xfinity Series race and his first at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Dylan Lupton Quoteboard:
On Homestead-Miami Speedway:“I’m optimistic about returning to Homestead-Miami Speedway. It’s been several years since I’ve been on the track, but I feel like we are in a good place knowing where we want to be with the setup.
“The AM Racing team had a strong showing going last year before being collected in a mid-race accident. I’d love nothing more than for us to build on the speed that we showcased at Las Vegas and deliver a respectable finish on Saturday afternoon and set us up for the last two races of the season at Martinsville Speedway and Phoenix Raceway.”
