Things get started today for the pivotal weekend at Kansas Speedway.
The NASCAR Cup Series will have its elimination race in Sunday’s Hollywood Casino 400, where four of the 12 remaining playoff drivers will not advance to the Round of 8.
The NASCAR Xfinity Series begins its Round of 8 with Saturday’s Kansas 300.
But it all begins today, as Cup has its first practice (the other two are Saturday) and qualifying, while the Xfinity Series will have its two practice sessions.
Here’s how today’s schedule shapes up:
