NASCAR’s second race of the Round of 12 took place at Kansas as more Chase drivers had issues on the track. Check out a few winners and losers from the Hollywood Casino 400.

The second of three races in the Round of 12 took place at Kansas Speedway on Sunday as a couple more of NASCAR’s biggest names faced trouble on the track.

Matt Kenseth–who won the pole–started the race off with what looked to be the best car out there. He won multiple restarts and led 116 laps as he set the tone early. But he was eventually passed and it was a mixture of Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick until the driver of the No. 4 car captured another win.

Among drivers who got into trouble throughout the day was Chase Elliott. He started strong again and passed Kevin Harvick for the lead at one point in the afternoon.

However, after leading four laps and coming in for a green flag pit stop, he suffered from a tire issue that led to multiple issues throughout the rest of the race and a 31st-place finish. He’ll basically need a win next weekend at Talladega to advance to the Round of 8.

Brad Keselowski saw his first trouble of the Chase as he spun into the grass at one point, leading to a 38th-place finish, which put him below the cut line.

Take a look at a few winners and losers from Sunday’s race.
