The NASCAR Cup Series cruises into Kansas Speedway for the first of two races this season.
Denny Hamlin comes in with all the momentum after winning his third race of the season last weekend at Dover Motor Speedway. And now, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver hits a track where he has had tremendous success.
His four victories at Kansas are the most among active Cup drivers, and his 13 top-five finishes also tops all active drivers. Hamlin has finished in the top five in the past five Kansas races, winning one year ago and finishing second in two of the past three races.
So, is there any driver that can keep up with Hamlin on Sunday? Here is all the information you need to get ready for the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway:
