The Cup Series teams had 20-minutes to shake down their cars for Sunday race at Kansas. This track does not wear out tires as quickly as Darlington last week, but it is still important to see which drivers were able to maintain their speed over the long runs. The driver who had speed in practice, qualified up front and ran well in the other 1.5-mile races this year (Las Vegas, Charlotte and Kansas) are the drivers we want in our lineups Sunday.
