Kansas is a tri-oval with three different degrees of banking. Crew chiefs have said they struggle with keeping the tires clean because of the banking. Drivers have praised the track because they get long runs under a green flag.
Here are some other random facts to impress your friends Sunday:
- Track banking is 15 degrees in the turns, 10.4 degrees in the front stretch and 5 degrees in the back stretch.
- The track pavement width is 55 feet.
- Jeff Gordon is the only driver to have won twice. Stunner - I know.
- Three non-Chase drivers have won the October Kansas race. Only two Chase drivers have won the October Kansas race.
- Kansas is compared most often to Chicagoland, which is most often compared to Indianapolis.
-The top qualifying speed topped 180 mph; so these guys will cook with some gas Sunday.
-That dude singing the National Anthem is Blaine Larson. He’s written songs for George Straight, so he’s cool in my book.
-The track is trying to get permission to build a casino on or near the property.
-Parking is free for fans.
