The NASCAR Cup Series is set for its second consecutive visit to a 1.5-mile oval this weekend at Kansas Speedway, and unlike Texas Motor Speedway, Kansas is on the schedule twice in 2025, with its second race date in the round of 12 of the playoffs.

There are 38 cars on the entry list for this Sunday afternoon's 267-lap AdventHealth 400 around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Kansas City, Kansas oval, the same number from this past Sunday's race at Texas Motor Speedway.

However, there have been four changes since the race at Texas, all relating to the non-chartered (open) cars. There were two open cars in the race at Texas, and there are two on the Kansas entry list, but neither one of the two from Texas is back at Kansas.

Here is the full entry list for the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas, the race which produced the closest finish in Cup Series history last year.
