Kansas Speedway has been on the NASCAR schedule since 2001 and while it has had its moments, no one circled it as the 'action track' when looking at the calendar every year. However, that changed swiftly with the arrival of the Next Gen car.
While the car has made short track racing and road courses duller than before, it has shone rather brightly on intermediate tracks, and that is never more true than when the series rolls into Kansas twice a year. Kansas has managed to produce six different winners in the last six races, and each event played out in its own unique (and thrilling) way.
