Last week at Dover we got to see a good Stage 1 and then what every fan loves to see, aero blocking for the win of the Stage 2 and race. This weekend we head to Kansas where unfortunately we will probably see some more of that if the race is close late. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Kansas Speedway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position in the Next Gen era. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
In this post you will only find active and Next Gen stats, if you are looking for all-time stats check out my previous article All-Time Cup Track Stats: Kansas.
Active means any driver who started a race in the 2024 Cup Series season.
