拉斯维加斯NASCAR上演贴墙决胜：科里·戴最后半圈并排冲线险胜夺冠
10月3日（周六），拉斯维加斯赛车场的NASCAR欧瑞利汽车配件系列赛"Focused Health 302"以201圈后的一次贴墙冲刺收场：17号亨德里克赛车（HendrickCars.com）雪佛兰车手科里·戴（Corey Day）在最后一圈两度擦墙，与1号赛车的卡森·克瓦皮尔（Carson Kvapil）并排压线，最终惊险夺冠，成为当晚拉斯维加斯赛车周末最经典的一幕。
比赛进程一波三折。戴赢下第一赛段，萨姆·梅耶尔（Sam Mayer）拿下第二赛段；但梅耶尔在第三赛段进站时车队失控放倒一个轮胎，被罚退到队尾，最终只以第6名完赛。第二赛段中，布兰登·琼斯（Brandon Jones）在1号弯被顶撞后撞墙，并波及贾斯汀·阿尔盖尔（Justin Allgaier），琼斯最终名列第35。
最后20圈是戴与克瓦皮尔的双人对决：克瓦皮尔一度在慢车群中抢到领先，戴随即贴着外墙发起反扑，两人在最后两圈多次交换位置、车门相碰。最后一圈，戴两次擦墙仍保持并行，最终以微弱优势率先冲线。杰西·洛夫（Jesse Love）、布伦特·克鲁斯（Brent Crews）和泰勒·格雷（Taylor Gray）分列第三至第五。
积分榜上，谢尔顿·克里德（Sheldon Creed）以2259分继续领跑，克瓦皮尔落后19分位居第二，洛夫落后22分第三。作为季后赛（Chase）分站，这场比赛的结果让冠军争夺在进入收官阶段前更加紧绷。次日，同一赛道还将举行杯系列赛的South Point 400。

Corey Day Edges Kvapil in Wall-Scraping Photo Finish to Win at Las Vegas
The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series delivered a classic finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday, October 3, as Corey Day, driving the No. 17 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet, beat Carson Kvapil to the line in a side-by-side, wall-scraping duel to win the Focused Health 302 after 201 laps. Day won Stage 1 and Sam Mayer took Stage 2, but Mayer's crew lost control of a wheel on a Stage 3 pit stop, sending him to the rear; he recovered to sixth. Brandon Jones crashed out in Stage 2 after contact in Turn 1, also collecting Justin Allgaier.
Over the final 20 laps Day and Kvapil traded the lead repeatedly — through lapped traffic, on the high line against the wall, and door-to-door at the white flag. Day brushed the wall twice on the last lap yet held on for the win, followed by Kvapil, Jesse Love, Brent Crews and Taylor Gray. Sheldon Creed (2,259 points) retained the series points lead, with Kvapil 19 back and Love 22 back, tightening the playoff picture ahead of Sunday's Cup Series South Point 400 at the same track.
