Kansas entry list. Looks like the usual suspects

Never had to look at the points race at Kansas like I will be this weekend..I'm not too concerned because he is pretty good here but Joey needs a solid finish and some stage points for sure *fingers crossed*
 
Deciding on whether I should make a last minute trip down there. It's a 6 hour drive, I made It last year.
 
The top 8 look really solid to me. Chase will have to win to knock someone out of that block. They won't go easy.

Perfect scenario for me....kyle blows up lap 1, 2,4,22 all earn max stage points and finish in the top 10. 14 wins! 18,9,88,24 all miss and I'm happy lol o_O
 
Good to see that, in a must win situation, the 9 team brought a knife to the gun fight.
 
Trouble comes in three, and here is the third "hauler" to have issues on the way to Kansas, this is a Champion Wheel&Tire hauler , they transport the wheels and pit carts aka war wagons and other carts for the teams, the engine threw a rod I believe .

HMS brought 4 turds on wheels this week. Unbelievable. Bring on 2020 already.
 
I love this race.

I've been a proponent of Kansas & Michigan losing one of their two races for new venues on the schedule, but with that said I quite like the October trips to Kansas.

Went there in 2016.

Two races in Michigan makes sense from a manufacturer perspective for obvious reasons, but yeah, I have never understood the two in Kansas....

Another case where it seems like the Frances are more interested in their own special interests (aka Hollywood Casino) than a robust schedule in different markets with unique tracks.
 
Interesting session so far.

I'm curious to see how these race. Hemric's car has to be trimmed out, he'll slide back throughout the race. Newman, Suarez, and Wallace are currently 4th to 6th atm. I doubt they race well, but we'll see.

Logano is going to be a missle through the field IMO.

Weirdest qual results of the season.

Maybe the winds?

No clue, but seeing a RCR and FRM front row is weird.

Lets hope the race results are just as interesting. I like to see a wild mix of teams in the top 10. I'm not sold on HMS though this weekend, I hope the three can show some semblance of race pace because it sure didn't show up in practice averages.

Yet they are solid in making adjustments through a race. Sunday will be a wild one IMO.

I don't think the results will be the same. Hemric may finish 20th, David Ragan will probably finish around 23rd.
 
Kansas Undercard is done.

Getting ready for the Main Event!
