NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Day One Testing from Kansas Complete

From: Kansas Speedway

As the excitement builds for this weekend’s Hollywood Casino 400, the first time to see NASCAR Sprint Cup Series cars on track was delayed due to weather but that didn’t dampen the anticipation for the newly reconfigured track to make its debut.

“The track is a lot different now than when we left from the tire test,” said NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Matt Kenseth. “It seems like it’s getting faster.”

NASCAR driver Trevor Bayne concurred.

“I didn’t know what to expect because I wasn’t here for the tire test,” said Bayne, who will be competing in both the Hollywood Casino 400 and the Kansas Lottery 300 this weekend. “We picked up speed pretty fast… I think the track is just going to keep getting faster all weekend. The track is pretty awesome. I think it’s going to be fun to race on.”

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series testing resumes tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM, with NASCAR Nationwide Series cars taking to the track at 1 PM. Admission is free, but Kansas Speedway is requesting a donation to March of Dimes Bikers for Babies. Parking lots and gates open at 8 AM.
