The NASCAR Cup Series ran a single practice session at Kansas Speedway on Saturday evening in preparation for the upcoming AdventHealth 400 on Sunday afternoon.
The 38-car field was split into two groups for this practice session. Below you'll find the two practice groups, key notes from the practice session and the practice speeds for all drivers.
Recently we have seen track conditions be vastly different between the two practice groups at tracks, but that really wasn't the case at Kansas this weekend. The first group had to deal with some rubber on the track left over from the ARCA race but speeds were pretty comparable across the board.
Important Practice Notes
Corey Heim - Even though Erik Jones received medical clearance to race at Kansas this weekend, the No. 43 team is playing it safe and having him sit out one more week. Corey Heim will be driving that Toyota at Kansas this weekend. He finished 25th at Dover last weekend.
