NASCAR In Kansas: Brad Keselowski Wins On Fuel Mileage, Beating Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Sunday’s STP 400 at Kansas Speedway saw the finish come down to a fuel mileage race for the second week in a row. This week, however, teams also battle the high temperatures that caused the track to become slick, making it difficult to pass.

Here is what a few of the drivers had to say following the race:

Busy morning at Kansas, eh? Kyle Busch and Richard Childress have dominated the talk at the track, but now it’s time for the actual race.

Talk about it here with other fans and SB Nation’s Jeff Gluck – watching from home today – as the action unfolds at Kansas Speedway.

Kyle Busch spoke to SPEED’s Wendy Venturini on Sunday morning, his first public comments since Saturday’s fight with rival team owner Richard Childress. Here’s a transcript of the interview:

Wendy Venturini: Tell us what you can about what happened.

There are a couple different “firsts” happening in NASCAR this weekend, so here’s a look at the weekend schedule for both Kansas Speedway and Chicagoland Speedway.

After hosting one race per season in either September or October for its entire existence, Kansas will hold its inaugural spring race this weekend. Meanwhile, about 500 miles to the northeast, Chicagoland is having its first-ever Nationwide Series standalone race.

Carl Edwards, the Missouri native who wants a win at Kansas Speedway more than at any other track, has yet to win at the Kansas City, Kan. venue.

With his momentum this season, Edwards is possibly very close. But if Edwards falls short of a win again – as he did in the thrilling 2008 finish at the 1.5 mile track – he just hopes one other driver doesn’t beat him to Kansas Speedway’s Victory Lane: Kansas native Clint Bowyer.
