The first of the NASCAR Cup Series' two annual trips to Kansas Speedway is scheduled for this weekend, with the AdventHealth 400 set to take place on Sunday afternoon.

This race is scheduled to be a 267-lap race around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Kansas City, Kansas oval, and qualifying is set to be conducted in the usual manner.

The drivers were split up into two groups since Kansas Speedway is not a superspeedway, and the order was determined by a four-variable metric which NASCAR initially came up with to set the starting lineups in the absence of qualifying back in 2020. A full rundown of that formula can be found here.

Since Kansas Speedway is not a short track, each driver is set to get one timed lap in the first round of the single-car session. The top five drivers in each group are set to advance to the shootout for the pole position, where the same format is utilized.

Unlike last year, when all speeds from the opening round were combined to determined where all those who did not advance would line up, the drivers who fail to advance out of the first group are set to line up on the outside row while the drivers who fail to advance out of the second group are set to line up on the inside row.
