After a short-track stint at Bristol last weekend, drivers will now face three straight 1.5-mile venues in the coming weeks, in Kansas City, Las Vegas and Charlotte. There was much drama in Tennessee on Saturday, with Ryan Blaney and Carson Hocevar getting into a pit-road fight post-race.
With playoff intensity ramping up, this race will have championship implications for many who are looking to stay in contention. Denny Hamlin, Tyler Reddick and Kyle Larson performed well at this track during the AdventHealth 400 earlier this year, but Joey Logano’s win at Bristol could be indicative of a postseason push from the veteran.
Be sure to tune in for all the action in Kansas City.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Hollywood Casino 400, including TV channel and streaming options for the NASCAR playoff race.
