After New Hampshire Motor Speedway got the round of 12 of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs underway with the Mobil 1 301 this past Sunday, Kansas Speedway is set to set the stage for next weekend's round of 12 finale at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval with this Sunday afternoon's Hollywood Casino 400 presented by ESPN BET.
Team Penske's Ryan Blaney is already locked into the round of 8 for the fifth consecutive postseason following his Loudon dominance. Will anybody join him, either by winning Sunday's 267-lap race around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Kansas City, Kansas oval or by building up enough gap over the cut line before what is usually a chaotic Charlotte Roval race?
Joe Gibbs Racing's Chase Briscoe took the pole position for Sunday's race in Saturday's qualifying session, and teammate Denny Hamlin started beside him on the front row, as both are aiming to get to the round of 8.
A full starting lineup can be found here.
