The 1.5-mile oval has been hosting Cup Series races since 2001, with one night race each year since 2014. The series will return in October for a day race during the playoffs.

Jeff Gordon was the first to win three races in Kansas before he became a Fox Sports NASCAR analyst, but Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick will be racing to become the first four-time winner at the track, where the stands will be empty due to coronavirus protocols.
