Aric Almirola Could Move Up At Kansas
While Aric Almirola has plenty of risks, he did finish 13th or better in three of his previous four results at Kansas. 2017 even saw him end up 9th which was a +16 place differential. The Stewart Haas Racing driver could have the Kevin Harvick build in use for Sunday too. Though he has never... Read More
Bubba Wallace One To Avoid At Kansas
Bubba Wallace has seen Kansas not be all that kind to the racing driver. As a matter of fact, the 23XI Racing driver has never finished better than 18th. That 2020 Fall race was his best place differential at +6. He starts 27th and could move up a little but even that seems not so... Read More
Alex Bowman Has Place-Differential Possibilities At Kansas
Alex Bowman is the one Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver that has been forgotten some. Bowman will start the Sunday afternoon race at Kansas from the 25th position. The No. 48 car has four top-ten results in his previous seven races. That translates to an average finish of 9.86. That is right near Kyle Larson's 9.6.... Read More
Erik Jones A More Intriguing Option At Kansas
Erik Jones begins this Kansas race from the 17th position on Sunday afternoon. That may be good news based on his 10.14 average finish. That includes five top-ten results in his previous seven races on the 1.5-mile speedway. The risk lies in the fact that with the Richard Petty Motorsports driver ended 25th during the... Read More
Daniel Suarez Likely To Fall At Kansas On Sunday
Daniel Suarez and Trackhouse Racing have the Spring race at Kansas kind of figured out. However, when the leaves fall and the weather changes, so do the fortunes. Suarez has ended up outside the top-20 all four times. Suarez has never led a lap on the track but worse, the No. 99 car likely intrigued... Read More
Matt DiBenedetto Does Have DFS Upside At Kansas
Matt DiBenedetto and his time with Wood Brothers Racing is almost at an end. However, one of his best results of the season was a fourth-place at Kansas. Lost in the shuffle is this. DiBenedetto finished in 15th (2019 Fall race). Then, there was the 12th last Fall. In that race, the No. 21 driver... Read More
Austin Dillon Unlikely To Be Much Of A Factor
Austin Dillon may just finish right around where he starts on Sunday. The Richard Childress Racing driver begins 14th. Most of his results have been ranging from 10th-17th since 2017. Dillon typically does not get too close to the front either. In his career, the No. 3 car has led just six laps. Again, the... Read More
Kurt Busch Could Lurk Around Top 10 At Kansas
Kurt Busch had a bit of a lost time the past two races on the Kansas track. He started 28th this Spring and still ended up in the top-15. The No. 1 driver had three top-tens before an engine issue in the 2019 Fall race. The Chip Ganassi vehicle does carry some good speed. However,... Read More
Tyler Reddick Starts Outside Top 10 On Sunday At Kansas
Tyler Reddick begins the Kansas race from the 12th position on Sunday afternoon. The Richard Childress Racing driver finished 25th in the only Fall race for the No. 8 car.

Kevin Harvick Expected To Finish Well At Kansas
Kevin Harvick and Kansas just seem to go together. Harvick was struggling early this season mightily, came to the track, did not lead a lap, yet finished second. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver enjoys these low-wear tracks but particularly this one. This is a driver that has led the second-most laps over the previous three years... Read More
Christopher Bell A Long Shot At Kansas Motor Speedway
Christopher Bell cannot be automatically counted out at Kansas but is realistically a long shot on the track. He finished tenth last year during the Fall race.

William Byron Has Good Numbers At Kansas
William Byron has favorable results at Kansas. While he has not won or come all that close, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver could factor into the "Chase" somewhat. Byron has four straight top-ten results on the track. His best finish was fifth during the Fall 2019 race. There is only one time where Byron has... Read More
Joey Logano Has Mixed Numbers Everywhere At Kansas
Joey Logano needs to win or hope for Martinsville. His blown engine last week has created this situation. The No. 22 Ford driver won just last Fall on the Kansas speedway. His Mustang has been excellent on this track at times and not so good. He also won in 2015 and nearly did in 2016.... Read More
Martin Truex Jr. May Be A Risk At Kansas
Martin Truex Jr. has consistently finished in the top 10 on the Kansas track. He has six top-10 finishes and a win over the past three seasons.

Chase Elliott Is The Most Consistent Driver At Kansas
Chase Elliott needs a very good to great result at Kansas. Would a win be ideal? Absolutely. The No. 9 car has won once in the past three seasons.

Kyle Busch A Threat To Win Hollywood Casino 400
Kyle Busch has been one of the best Joe Gibbs Racing drivers not to win the Fall race at Kansas. Over the past three Fall races, the younger Busch has finished no worse than fifth. It is odd though that the No. 18 car has only led four laps during that entire span. However, he... Read More
Brad Keselowski A True Wild Card At Kansas On Sunday
Brad Keselowski has five top-six finishes in his last six races on the Kansas speedway. That includes a win in 2019. The only problem is that the Team Penske driver has had his share of issues too.

Ryan Blaney Looks Strong Heading To Kansas
Ryan Blaney and his Team Penske car have to be considered a threat to win at Kansas on Sunday.

Denny Hamlin Has A Fighting Chance At Kansas
Denny Hamlin has an interesting ledger with Kansas over the past three seasons. In seven races, the No. 11 has won twice with another top-ten result as well. He has led 14.6% of the laps in this span along with a 9.14 average finish. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has led 50 or more laps... Read More
Kyle Larson Favored Yet Again At Kansas
Kyle Larson has already qualified for the Championship Four at Phoenix in two weeks. Despite that, his focus is still Kansas. Asking the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver to go easy is almost pointless. While Larson has not won a race at Kansas over the past three years, he has led the most laps (21.72% laps... Read More

Kevin Harvick Does Texas Two-Step To Finish Fifth
Kevin Harvick had the best average finish of every active racer over the previous six races at Texas. Not only had he won twice, but there was that feeling he might finish in the top five. Sure enough, the No. 4 car survived all that carnage and ended up fifth. He was 11th after Stage... Read More
Brad Keselowski Finishes In The Top Five At Texas
Brad Keselowski had not expected this result at the Texas Motor Speedway. That occurred on Sunday as the No. 2 found his way up to fourth place by race's end.

Christopher Bell Lands On Podium Unexpectedly At Texas
It was just one very strange race for Christopher Bell. However, Bell will take the result every day and especially on Sundays. The No. 20 car never did lead a single lap and did not accumulate many stage points. That was more like zero points. It became all about trying to set up to win.... Read More
William Byron Nearly Wins At Texas On Sunday
William Byron almost pulled it off as he nearly pulled off the victory at Texas Motor Speedway. The No. 24 car wound up 0.459 seconds away from Kyle Larson as Larson was able to squeeze.
