NASCAR at Kansas playoff race 2022: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Hollywood Casino 400
The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs remain wide open after the opening race of the 10-race postseason produced a number of surprises. The biggest was that a non-playoff driver, Erik Jones, won at Darlington to prevent any of the 16 championship contenders from clinching a berth in the second round.
Meanwhile, Darlington proved a disaster for top seed Chase Elliott who couldn't even make it to the halfway point before a spin resulted in a broken suspension. Kevin Harvick, who entered the playoffs on a roll after two wins in August, had his race end early when his car caught fire, and Kyle Busch saw what seemed like a sure win slip away when his engine blew up late in the race.
Those drivers will try to put last weekend in the rear-view mirror as they turn their attention to playoff race No. 2, while others, like Denny Hamlin, Tyler Reddick and Joey Logano — who finished second through fourth, respectively, last weekend — will try to capitalize on their momentum.
Here is everything you need to know to get ready for the Hollywood Casino 400, Sunday at Kansas Speedway.
