Off to Kansas NASCAR goes this weekend. NASCAR’s Cup, Craftsman Truck, and ARCA Menards Series all head to the mid-west for intermediate racing. Kansas Speedway has been home to compelling racing over the past few years. With the forecast looking better as the week progresses, Saturday and Sunday should be great days to watch some racing. Especially the double header on Saturday, which will see ARCA serve as the warm up for the Kentucky Derby. For the three races this weekend, who do the Pit Pass Network crew think will prevail in Kansas? Check out the Pit Pass Network Predictions for spring Kansas below.
