Background

Kansas Speedway, the race track where the race will be held.

The track, Kansas Speedway, is one of ten intermediate to hold NASCAR races, the others being Atlanta Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, Darlington Raceway, Homestead Miami Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Kentucky Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Texas Motor Speedway.[2] The standard track at Kansas Speedway is a four-turn quad-oval track that is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long.[3] The track's turns are banked at fifteen degrees, while the front stretch, the location of the finish line, is 10.4 degrees. The back stretch, opposite of the front, is at only five degrees.[3] The racetrack has seats for 82,000 spectators.[3]

Before the race, Denny Hamlin led the Drivers' Championship with 5,368 points, and Jimmie Johnson stood in second with 5,333 points. Kyle Busch was third in the Drivers' Championship with 5,323 points, fourteen ahead of Kurt Busch and twenty ahead of Kevin Harvick in fourth and fifth. Carl Edwards with 5,295 was seven points ahead of Jeff Burton, as Jeff Gordon with 5,285 points, was fifty-seven ahead of Greg Biffle, and seventy-nine in front of Tony Stewart.[4] Matt Kenseth and Clint Bowyer was eleventh and twelfth with 5,203 and 5,130 points. In the Manufacturers' Championship, Chevrolet was leading with 206 points, thirty-five points ahead of their rival Toyota. Ford, with 126 points, was thirteen points ahead of Dodge in the battle for third.[5] Tony Stewart is the race's defending champion.[6]

Practice and qualifying

Three practice sessions will be held before the Sunday race—one on Friday, and two on Saturday. The first session lasted 90 minutes, while the second session will last 45 minutes. The third and final session will last 60 minutes.[7] During the first practice session, Juan Pablo Montoya, for the Earnhardt Ganassi Racing team, was quickest ahead of Ryan Newman in second and Jimmie Johnson in the third position.[8] Paul Menard was scored fourth, and Jamie McMurray managed fifth.[8] Carl Edwards, Clint Bowyer, Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, and David Reutimann rounded out the top ten quickest drivers in the session.[8]

Kasey Kahne won the pole position, after having the fastest time of 30.920.

Afterward, during qualifying, forty-six cars were entered, but only forty-three will be able because of NASCAR's qualifying procedure.[9] Kasey Kahne clinched his eighteenth pole position in the Sprint Cup Series, with a time of 30.920.[10] He will be joined on the front row of the grid by Menard.[10] Jeff Gordon qualified third, Joey Logano took fourth, and Greg Biffle will start fifth.[10] Kevin Harvick, one of the drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, qualified twenty-fourth, while Carl Edwards was scored thirty-first.[10] The three drivers that failed to qualify for the race was Jason Leffler, Mike Bliss, and Joe Nemechek.[10]
