Track breakdown: What wins at Kansas Motor Speedway?
Kansas is one of the bread-and-butter 1 1/2-mile ovals in the NASCAR Cup Series, and results at such tracks are a bit less chaotic than at short tracks or drafting venues. Past results are more reliable, and being able to race in clean air is key.
- Goodyear introduced new right-side tires at last fall's Kansas race, in the hopes of increasing strategy options. The same tire setup was used at Las Vegas as well as Darlington earlier this season.
- Success at Las Vegas, a very similar oval, often goes hand-in-hand with success at Kansas.
