KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Kansas Speedway on Sunday and marks the second race in the Playoffs and Round of 16.

For the first-time in series history not one of the 16 Playoff drivers are locked into the Round of 12 following the postseason opener. That’s because Petty GMS and driver Erik Jones, a non-Playoff competitor this season, snatched the victory at Darlington Raceway last weekend, leaving the Playoff standings shaken-up like never before.

Now the Cup Series heads to Kansas Speedway for the Hollywood Casino 400 Presented by Barstool Sportsbook on Sunday, September 11 at 2 p.m. CT.

Kansas Speedway announced in July that the Cup Series race on Sept. 11 will be renamed the Hollywood Casino 400 presented by Barstool Sportsbook to amplify the opening of the Barstool Sportsbook at Hollywood Casino as sports wagering is now available in the state of Kansas.

The 2022 season marks the first-time the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs’ second race has been hosted by Kansas Speedway. Kansas is the fourth different track in NASCAR Cup Series history to host the second race of the Playoffs.

There are a total of four race events this weekend at Kansas Speedway beginning with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race Friday night, a double-header Saturday with the NASCAR Xfinity Series race in the afternoon and the ARCA Menards Series race at night and the Cup Series race Sunday afternoon.

For the double-header race Saturday, you can expect a mix of clouds and sunshine with a slight chance of a rain shower. The high is expected to be 88 degrees with a low of 57 degrees.

Entertainment (Craig Morgan Pre-Race Concert, Lee Greenwood)

On Sunday, chart-topping Country music star and U.S. Army veteran Craig Morgan will perform a pre-race concert before the NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, Sept. 11.

Before his music career, Morgan served 10.5 years on active duty with the US Army in the 101^st and 82nd Airborne Divisions. He then continued to serve another 6.5 years in the Army Reserves, totaling seventeen years of service. Craig has made more than 16 overseas trips to perform for US soldiers and their families, a deed that earned him the USO Merit Award and the Army’s Outstanding Civilian Service Medal for his continuous support of the US military.

“I’m incredibly excited to play for a crowd of individuals as passionate as NASCAR fans,” said Morgan. “Having this opportunity to bring people together on a day that reminds us of the importance of our countrymen and women, the importance of community, that’s really special to me.”

As a tribute to the nation’s military and first responders on a solemn day of remembrance, Lee Greenwood will sing his patriotic hit “God Bless The USA” prior to the start of the Hollywood Casino 400 presented by Barstool Sportsbook on Sunday.

Greenwood’s performance before Sunday’s race is just one of many events commemorating service members and first responders at Kansas Speedway throughout the weekend of Sept. 9-11.

The traveling VAU (Veterans and Athletes United) Fallen Heroes Memorial Wall will be on display in the fan zone along with a mahogany battlefield cross, sculpted by veteran artist Alicia Dietz. The 28-foot-wide by 6-foot-tall American flag wall is decorated with red, white and blue colored dog tags of service members who have fallen in the Global War on Terror since Sept. 11, 2001.

There will also be a flyover from Whiteman Air Force Base.
