NASCAR schedule 2024: Cup Series bound for Kansas with Darlington, All-Star race approaching

The more the NASCAR track changes, the more things seem to stay the same.

The shape and size of the circuit hasn't much mattered to Denny Hamlin this season, as he picked up his third points-paying win and his fourth overall of the 2024 season at Dover on Sunday, holding off hard-charging Kyle Larson at the end.

William Byron also has a trio of victories with the two combining to take more than half of the 11 events so far.

This week, NASCAR heads to to heartland for 400 miles around the 1½-mile oval at Kansas Motor Speedway where, who else, Hamlin is the defending event winner. Coverage is set to start at 3 p.m. on FS1 on Sunday.

Here's a look at the 2024 NASCAR schedule:
