The NASCAR Cup Series ran a single practice session at Kansas Speedway on Saturday afternoon in preparation for the upcoming Hollywood Casino 400 on Sunday afternoon.
The 37-car field was split into two groups for practice, with each group getting 25 minutes on track.
Below you will find the two groups, key notes from the practice session, as well as the practice speeds for all drivers.
Important Practice Notes
Ryan Blaney - Good thing Ryan Blaney is already locked into the next round of the Playoffs, because the No. 12 team didn't have a good practice session. Blaney couldn't find any speed and then he had a tire go down and drilled the wall. He will likely go to a backup car.

Joey Logano - Another Team Penske Ford had issues in practice, as Joey Logano's No 22 Ford had a similar issue to Ryan Blaney's No. 12 ride. Luckily, Logano was able to diagnose the issue starting to happen and got the apron, avoiding any major damage.
