NASCAR weekend schedule at Kansas Speedway

By Mike HembreeSep 8, 2022, 7:00 AM EDT

Joey Logano carries the Cup Series playoff point lead into Kansas Speedway for Sunday’s 400-mile race, the second of the year at the 1.5-mile track in Kansas City, Kansas.

Logano finished fourth last Sunday at Darlington Raceway and jumped ahead of previous leader Chase Elliott in the standings. Elliott finished last in the race and fell to ninth in the playoff group.

Kevin Harvick, a three-time Kansas winner, will be looking for a positive bump this weekend after falling seven points positions to 16th.

The 267-lap race (3 p.m. ET) will be televised by the USA Network.
