The 23rd ARCA Menards Series race held at the 1.5-mile speedway will also conclude Young’s Motorsports’ first season of competition in the NASCAR-owned development series.
Throughout the year, Young’s Motorsports fielded ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series East entries for Toni Breidinger and Connor Mosack.
Kansas will mark the organization’s ninth race of the year, highlighted by back-to-back 12th place finishes at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway and Kansas Speedway respectively.
Welcome Back: For the fourth time this season, Young’s Motorsports welcomes Connor Mosack aboard their No. 02 Chevrolet SS.
Mosack returns to the team after competing in his most recent ARCA Menards Series race at the famed Milwaukee (Wisc.) Mile in last August.
Mosack earned much-needed seat time in the ARCA Menards Series and delivered a respectable 16th place finish in the Sprecher 150.
The highlight of Mosack’s young ARCA tenure occurred in May when he made his ARCA debut with the team at Dover’s Monster Mile. Starting 14th, he utilized the 125-lap race to move forward in his stock car debut to take seventh at the checkered flag.
The effort was not only a top-10 for Mosack but also a top-10 for the Tyler Young-led team in their ARCA East Series debut.

He is also involved with the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation supporting kids with pediatric cancer.

Connor Mosack Pre-Race Quotes:
On Kansas Speedway: “I’m excited to get back in the ARCA car on a mile and a half. We’re bringing the car we had at Michigan, so I think our No. 02 Nic Tailor Custom Fit Underwear Chevrolet will be really good.”
On Preparing For Kansas Speedway: “I’ve run many laps on the simulator to best prepare myself, and gone through and watched some of the past races there.
“I’ve also been able to talk to some people who have run well there and can use their advice to be better as well.”
On Benefit of Practice and Qualifying: “Being able to practice and qualify will be a big help for us. At Michigan, we were able to get a couple of laps in practice, but no qualifying so starting at the back made it tougher than it needed to be.
“Hopefully, we can use the practice to get up to speed on the track and make some minor adjustments if needed and then qualify near the front to be able to run with those guys in the race.”
On Goals For Kansas Speedway: My goal is definitely a top-five finish with our No. 02 Nic Tailor Custom Fit Underwear Chevrolet. I feel we could have easily accomplished this at Michigan had we not had the mechanical problems.”
