Checkered Countdown: Top-Five Kansas Finishes
As the second round of the Chase continues at the Kansas Speedway, so does Checkered Countdown. Here is our top-five of the best finishes ever at this place.
The Kansas Speedway is a relatively new racetrack and the Sprint Cup Series has raced there since its opening in 2001. In 2011 NASCAR has added a second date there in the spring while the other race is held during the Chase. This weekend’s 400-miler will have a huge role in determining who will make it to the round of eight: with five chase drivers facing crashes or mechanical problems in Charlotte, they will be looking to rebound with a win to not risk at Talladega.

In the spring Kyle Busch was the winner at a track where he had always struggled throughout his career. He will try to do it again and guarantee himself in the next round but will be fighting against tough competitors like Jimmie Johnson, the winner at Charlotte. Johnson also shares the record for the most wins at this track with Jeff Gordon. They have three wins each while Joey Logano has won the fall race in both of the last two years.
