Preview: The Kansas Speedway hosts Chase race No. 4 on this 1.5-mile, flat tri-oval track. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series last raced here in June. At that time, Brad Keselowski won, though teammate Kurt Busch led the most laps in a race that came down to fuel mileage.
Preview: There is not much precedent for predicting Sunday’s race results at Kansas Speedway, since this is the first time the Cup Series has raced here in June. The circuit has been visiting the 1.5-mile Kansas tri-oval since 2001, but the track previously had just one race date a year, in late September or early October.
Preview: This is NASCAR’s first and only stop at Kansas Speedway in 2010 for the third race of the Chase, but next year will be different: Kansas will have two Cup dates in 2011, the first in June and the second in October as the fourth Chase race.
