NASCAR will hit the Kansas speedway this weekend for the annual AdventHealth 400 in Kansas City following the wild finish to the Darlington throwback weekend. The 12th round of Cup series racing the 1.5-mile oval is expected to witness Toyota teams fight for the victory as the manufacturer is yet to put on a dominant performance other than Denny Hamlin’s Richmond win and Kyle Busch’s surprising Bristol win, both the drivers belonging to Joe Gibbs Racing.

Denny Hamlin who drives the No:22 JGR Toyota Camry will go to Kansas hoping to get his season to consistent run after the roller-coaster ride the season so far has been for him. The odds are on Hamlin’s side as the veteran already has 3 wins in the track and has also had three top 5 finishes in the last 5 rounds of racing in the same track including his Top 5 finish in the track last season.

Now Denny Hamlin who had an unlucky outing in Darlington after he failed to capitalize on his top 10 finishes in both of the initial stages and the 41 laps leading run due to a late pit stop issue and the multi-car crash has now come forth explaining what he thinks of the upcoming race at Kansas.
