NASCAR double-header at Kansas Speedway unfolds from April 17-19 with high-stakes action in Cup Series and O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.
The legendary 1.5-mile intermediate oval is renowned for its high-banking turns that push drivers and cars to their limits while delivering some of the closest finishes in stock car racing history.
While there won’t be any Truck racing on Friday, the OARS will still provide non-stop action through meticulously timed practice and qualifying sessions to maximize fan engagement.
Saturday ramps up the action with the 300-lap NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Kansas Lottery 300 (stages 45/90/200) under the lights starting 6:00 PM E.T.
Sunday marks the climax with NASCAR Cup Series AdventHealth 400 showdown featuring 512 laps in three stages (80/165/267)—where drivers will face a pivotal early-season test on the unforgiving high banks.
All sessions stream live on platforms like Prime Video, The CW App and FS1 apps, with radio options via SiriusXM, PRN, and NASCAR Radio Network for comprehensive coverage.
