Next up on AUTOSPORT Live... it's the start of the 2014 Formula 1 season.

We're expanding our Live service for grand prix weekends to become not just session commentary, but a rolling news blog packed with analysis and insight from our team in the F1 paddock.

It all starts at 1am UK time on Friday morning from Melbourne. See you then.
Here's the full report and results from that spectacular Las Vegas finish:

Las Vegas NASCAR Sprint Cup full report



What an amazing end to the race. Keselowski hits the jackpot in Vegas.
Earnhardt is out of fuel! Keselowski wins!
One lap to go! Can Earnhardt hang on?
Side-by-side through Turn 2 go the two leaders and Keselowski briefly takes it, but Earnhardt takes it back. Superb racing!
Menard charges past Logano as Keselowski renews his attack on Earnhardt for the lead.
Earnhardt's marginal on fuel but is being given the hurry-up by his team. This is all or nothing with eight laps to go.
The #2 attacks the #88, there's just 10 laps to go and it's neck-and-neck for the lead!
Keselowski is right on Earnhardt for the lead!
Menard's past Edwards now too. His crew report he is OK for fuel to go to the end of the race. What about the three in front of him?
Johnson's up to sixth now, passing Kahne and Newman.
Flying indeed! Logano wrests third from Edwards. There's about a second between him and Penske team-mate Keselowski.
Logano is pressuring Edwards for third. Earlier he was complaining that his car wasn't working well in traffic - back at the front, the Penske driver is flying.
Keselowski is back into second, but he's 2.8s behind Earnhardt.

Busch has fallen to ninth now as Johnson becomes the latest man to demote the Joe Gibbs Toyota.
Bowyer is into the pits after hitting the wall outside Turn 2 and losing his right-rear tyre.


Earnhardt's lead is holding at 2s. Edwards still has Keselowski for close company and Logano hasn't entirely shaken off Menard.

Busch has now fallen to seventh as Newman and Kahne inflict the pain.
Menard is back into the top five as he demotes Busch.
Earnhardt's lead over Edwards is 2s. To put that in perspective, 1s covers the next five cars.
The Penske boys are fighting hard over third, Keselowski just fending off Logano for now. Further ahead, Earnhardt has bolted.
Edwards moves into second as Logano passes Busch for fourth.
All change at the restart! Earnhardt holds the lead but Keselowski storms into second, Edwards into third with Busch and Logano completing the top five.
Green flags fly and Earnhardt leads the field away with 42 laps to go.
Doesn't look like Earnhardt, Edwards or Hamlin pit.
Menard wins the race out of the pits, ahead of Busch, Johnson, Keselowski and Logano.
Keselowski does move into the pits, and there is a train of cars following him in.
Keselowski's 5.4s lead will be reduced to nothing...but will anyone dive for the pits? There are 45 laps remaining.
Another caution, debris on the front straight.
Johnson, Busch and Earnhardt complete the top five. Logano's ended up ninth, just behind Gordon.
Menard resumes the chase in second, but he's now 6.2s behind Keselowski!

Can the 2012 champion make it to the end of the race?
Carl Edwards and Denny Hamlin lead for a lap, then pit. And guess who's leading?

It's Brad Keselowski.
Harvick retires.
Johnson hands the lead over to Earnhardt, with Gordon also staying out for one more lap and Logano suddenly up in third.
The green-flag stops have been initiated...everyone's diving in.
Menard pits as he approaches Austin Dillon, the last of the cars on the lead lap.

Johnson now leads from Busch, Earnhardt, Gordon and Kenseth.
Harvick, the Phoenix winner, is in all kinds of trouble. He's lost seven laps already and there's no way this will turn into a good result now.
Keselowski rejoined a lap down in 16th. What's that going to do to his race...
Menard attacks Johnson for the lead, Johnson fights back and holds on...but then Menard goes again and takes the place!

He's now hit the front for the first time, having started 21st!
Keselowski has dived into the pitlane under the green flag. This one IS planned.
Drama for Harvick! He's into the pits...and this isn't planned.

Brake issues reported for the former race leader.
