The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Kansas Speedway for the AdventHealth 400, marking the 12th race of the 2025 season. Kansas has been a thrilling venue in recent years, producing some of the closest finishes in NASCAR history, including last year’s photo finish between Kyle Larson and Chris Buescher.
Race Storylines & Favorites
Kyle Larson: The Defending Champion
Larson enters the race as the favorite (+375), having won the Spring 2024 Kansas race and finishing runner-up in the Fall 2024 event. He has been dominant at Kansas, securing eight Top-10 finishes in his last 10 starts at the track.
23XI Racing’s Kansas Success
Since the introduction of the Next Gen car in 2022, 23XI Racing has been one of the strongest teams at Kansas, winning three of the last six races at the track. Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick are still searching for their first win of 2025, and Kansas might be their best opportunity.
Ross Chastain: Looking for a Repeat
Chastain won the Fall 2024 Kansas race, leading 52 laps on his way to victory. He finished runner-up last week at Texas, but has expressed concerns about Trackhouse Racing’s lack of speed. A win here would be huge for his playoff hopes.
Kyle Busch: The Underdog
Busch enters Kansas 68 races removed from his last win, but he has been strong at this track historically. If not for a late spin in the Fall 2024 race, he might have already ended his winless streak. He’s a longshot (+2000), but a potential sleeper pick.
Key Matchups to Watch
Kyle Larson vs. Denny Hamlin
Hamlin has been one of the best drivers at Kansas, securing five Top-5 finishes in his last six races at the track. Larson and Hamlin have had multiple battles at Kansas, and this race could see another intense duel.
Bubba Wallace vs. Tyler Reddick
Both 23XI Racing drivers have won at Kansas before, and both are desperate for their first win of 2025. Expect them to be aggressive as they try to capitalize on their team’s success at this track.
Ross Chastain vs. William Byron
