Weekend schedule for Kansas Speedway

The NASCAR Cup Series, CRAFTSMAN Truck Series and the ARCA Menards Series travel to Kansas Speedway this weekend. The Xfinity Series is off and returns to competition on May 11 at Darlington Raceway.

Richard Petty will be honored as the Grand Marshal and will give the command, “Drivers, start your engines,” to kick off Sunday’s AdventHealth 400 as NASCAR continues to celebrate the Petty family’s 75th year in NASCAR.

Ten current Cup Series drivers have been to victory lane at Kansas led by the defending race winner, Denny Hamlin. He also leads the series with four previous victories at the track (2012, 2019, 2020, 2023).

The CRAFTSMAN Truck Series is back after a two-week break for the eighth race of the season. Grant Enfinger is the defending race winner and Christian Eckes is the most recent winner at the 1.5-mile track.
