Kansas Start Time, TV, Live Stream, Schedule

NASCAR charges into Kansas Speedway on Sunday as the Cup Series returns to an intermediate track for the first time in nearly two months.

Since the Cup drivers last raced on a 1.5-mile oval in mid-March, the series has held a road event, three short track races, a superspeedway race and a battle on the concrete Monster Mile . But a race at Kansas could be just what’s needed to kick off perennial championship contender Denny Hamlin’s season.

The Joe Gibbs Racing driver remains winless so far in 2023 and has scored just two top fives in 11 races this season. But Kansas brings a big dose of optimism. Hamlin has three career Cup victories at Kansas – including back-to-back victories in 2019 and 2020 – and last season he saw the team he co-owns, 23XI Racing, sweep both races in Kansas City, Kansas, while Hamlin finished fourth in the spring race and second in the playoff race.

Can Hamlin get back to winning ways as a driver or co-owner? Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for Sunday’s Advent Health 400 at Kansas Speedway.
