As NASCAR’s playoffs continue to heat up, all eyes are on the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway as the second round kicks off this weekend. With only eight drivers left in contention for the championship, the pressure is on as they battle for a spot in the Championship 4.
Leading the pack is defending champion Kyle Larson, who has been dominant all season long. Larson has already secured multiple wins and looks to continue his winning streak at Kansas. However, he will face stiff competition from the likes of Denny Hamlin, Chase Elliott, and Martin Truex Jr., who are all hungry for their own shot at the title.
One of the biggest storylines heading into the race is the return of Bubba Wallace, who missed the first round of the playoffs due to a positive COVID-19 test. Wallace, who drives for 23XI Racing, is determined to make up for lost time and prove that he belongs among the sport’s elite drivers.
As the playoff field narrows down, every point and position become crucial in determining who will advance to the next round. With the unpredictable nature of restrictor plate racing, anything can happen at Kansas Speedway, making for an exciting and nail-biting race for fans and drivers alike.
In addition to the high-stakes racing on the track, fans can also look forward to a weekend full of entertainment and activities at the track. From live music performances to interactive exhibits, the Hollywood Casino 400 promises to be an unforgettable experience for all in attendance.
The race will take place on Sunday, October 20th, with coverage starting at 2:30 PM ET on NBC. Make sure to tune in to see who will come out on top and continue their quest for the NASCAR Cup Series championship.
