Kansas start time, TV, live stream, lineup

NASCAR heads to Kansas this weekend to open the second round of the 2024 Cup Series playoffs.

Kansas Speedway was the site of a thrilling spring race in May that ended with the closest finish in NASCAR history, with Kyle Larson beating Chris Buescher by 0.001 seconds in a photo finish.

Larson enters Sunday’s race at the top of the playoff standings after a dominant performance at Bristol Motor Speedway last weekend. The 2021 Cup Series champion won the playoff race in Kansas this year and secured its first title. Including this win, Larson has posted five top-four finishes in the last six races at the Kansas City, Kansas, track, with his worst finish since the fall of 2021 being an eighth-place finish the following year.

But Larson isn’t the only playoff contender watching in Kansas. Denny Hamlin leads all active Cup Series drivers with four wins at the 1.5-mile oval, while Joey Logano triumphed there three times. Tyler Reddick also recently won in Kansas.
