NASCAR at Kansas spring 2023: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Advent Health 400
NASCAR speeds into Kansas Speedway on Sunday as the Cup Series returns to an intermediate track for the first time in nearly two months.
Since Cup drivers last raced on a 1.5-mile oval in mid-March, the series has held a road course event, three short-track races, a superspeedway race and a battle on the concrete Monster Mile. But a Kansas race could be exactly what is needed to kick-start the season for perennial championship contender Denny Hamlin.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver remains winless so far in 2023 and has only scored two top-five finishes in 11 races this season. But Kansas does provide a big dose of optimism. Hamlin has three career Cup wins at Kansas − including back-to-back victories in 2019 and 2020 − and last season he saw the team he co-owns, 23XI Racing, sweep both races in Kansas City, Kansas, while Hamlin finished fourth in the spring race and second in the playoff race.
Can Hamlin return to victory lane either as a driver or co-owner? Here is all the information you need to know to get ready for Sunday's Advent Health 400 at Kansas Speedway.
