2: The number of races at Kansas Speedway won by Jeff Gordon, who took the checkered flag in the inaugural event in 2001 and followed that achievement with a victory in the second Kansas race a year later. Gordon likes the old asphalt at the 1.5-mile track, but Sunday's STP 400 will be his last chance to race on it. The speedway will be repaved and renovated before NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series returns for the Oct. 21 Chase race.
