Richard Childress Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series at Kansas Speedway… In 104 NASCAR Cup Series starts at Kansas Speedway, Richard Childress Racing has one win (Kevin Harvick, 2013) along with five top-five and 29 top-10 finishes. The victory was Harvick’s first at the Midwest intermediate track and came in dominating fashion after winning the pole and leading the most laps in the race. RCR owns three pole positions at Kansas: Harvick (2013), Daniel Hemric (2019) and Tyler Reddick (2022).
RCR in the Xfinity Series at Kansas… RCR has one NASCAR Xfinity Series victory at Kansas: Kevin Harvick in 2006. Harvick, who led twice for 18 laps, would go on to win the 2006 series title with RCR, the second of his career. The Welcome, N.C., based organization has three poles at Kansas by three different drivers: Austin Dillon (2013), Ty Dillon (2014) and Daniel Hemric (2018). In 2023, both RCR drivers scored top-five finishes at Kansas: Sheldon Creed (third) and Austin Hill (fifth).

Yet the driver of the No. 38 Front Row Motorsports Ford wasn’t content with just one triumph. Riggs set his sights on the very next event at Bristol, where he dominated the final stage, led 80 laps and again left title contenders to battle for second. (more…)
As the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Kansas Speedway, it is a track where the Air Jordan paint scheme first won with Kurt Busch. Tyler Reddick has since won (at Talladega) with the Jumpman logo on the hood.
Which makes one think, now that he has driven for 23XI Racing — co-owned by Michael Jordan — for the past couple of years, what type of shoe game does Tyler Reddick have?
Hailie Deegan will race in next weekend’s Nitrocross event at Utah Motorsports Campus, returning to the series for the first time since 2021.
Deegan will compete in the Side-by-Side class in a field that also includes Lucy, Mika, and Kira Block – the wife, son, and daughter of Ken Block – and Travis Pastrana, invoking memories of the early days of U.S. rallycross where Block Sr., Pastrana, and Hailie’s father Brian all competed. (more…)

KANSAS CITY, Kan: With his final ARCA Menards Series appearance of the season on deck at Kansas Speedway this weekend, Greg Van Alst would like nothing more to end his 2024 season the same way he started it in Friday night’s Reese’s 150.
Flashing back to February at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, Van Alst survived an ARCA overtime restart and carnage on the backstretch to secure a third-place finish at the “World Center of Racing” and great early season momentum for what the team had hoped would be a full season of competition.

KANSAS CITY, Kansas: Fresh off A.L.L. Construction Racing’s career-best second-place finish in the ARCA Menards Series last Thursday night at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway with Landen Lewis, team principal Jason Kitzmiller returns to the seat set to take the checkered flag on the team’s limited season schedule in Friday night’s Reese’s 150 at Kansas Speedway.
