NASCAR At Kansas Speedway 2012: Denny Hamlin Picks Up Second Win Of Season

Ever since the Las Vegas race three weeks into the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, Roush Fenway Racing driver Greg Biffle has topped the point standings.

This week is no different, as Biffle remained in the No. 1 spot – 15 points ahead of Martin Truex Jr. – following a fifth-place finish on Sunday at Kansas Speedway.

Nice-looking weather is expected for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Race at Kansas Speedway. The sky will be mostly sunny early with a few more clouds likely in the afternoon but no more than partly sunny. Temperatures will once again be cool with afternoon temperatures reaching the mid-60s. Winds will also be on the breezy side, out of the north-northwest around 10 to 15 mph with occasional gusts reaching 20 to possibly 25 mph. With the exception of the wind and chill it looks like a nice day for some NASCAR racing. Enjoy.

Shortly after the checkered flag waves Sunday on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway, the 1.5-mile track will be getting a facelift.

But it’s a facelift not everyone agrees the 12-year-old track actually needs.

Nice to see that Kansas Speedway won’t be dealing with the same excitement that the state of Kansas dealt with last week. This weekend looks good for both the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Camping World Truck Series.

Cold front moved through Thursday night, a few lingering clouds, breezy conditions and cold temperatures are what we will see on Friday. Some wind gusts will be near 20 mph and afternoon high temperatures struggle to reach 60 degrees.
