Kansas Speedway will feature roughly eight consecutive hours of NASCAR laps as the Xfinity and Cup series hit the 1.5-mile oval.
A 55-minute Xfinity practice will begin at 10:30 a.m. ET, immediately followed by qualifying at 11:35 a.m. for the 200-lap race.
The Cup Series will hold an hourlong practice at 1 p.m., immediately followed by qualifying for Sunday’s 400-mile race. Christopher Bell won the pole position for the September 2024 playoff race at Kansas.
The Xfinity Series race will start at 4:10 p.m. ET. Aric Almirola, who is absent from the entry list, won last year. Brandon Jones, who won consecutive races at Kansas in 2019-20, is the track’s most recent Xfinity winner in the field.
Kyle Larson will look to win his second consecutive race at Kansas this weekend after his dominant performance there in May.
