The NASCAR Cup Series ventures into the Midwest for the first time this season and returns to a 1.5-mile track for the first time in nearly two months.
Sunday’s race at Kansas Speedway could be a boon for winless drivers Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski, three former Cup champions who have multiple victories at the track.
This season, with the new Next Gen car, has proven to be ultra-competitive in its early stages, with 10 different winners in the first 12 races. Only William Byron of Hendrick Motorsports, and surprisingly Ross Chastain of newcomer Trackhouse Racing, have won twice.
Here’s all the information you need to prepare for Sunday’s AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas.
