Denny Hamlin has won twice here at the Kansas Speedway in the last ten years. Still, he will start from P25, with Tyler Reddick taking the pole for the Hollywood Casino 400 race. Behind him, we have Logano, Bowman, Bell, and Chastain. However, Kevin Harvick is seen as the favorite in the experts' eyes, even though he will start the race in P14.
This is the second race from the Round of 16, so it could influence the remaining quite a lot. Tune up to see an exciting race.
22:36 UTC We have one more race in the Round of 16, which will be next week at the Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee.
