NASCAR RESULTS LIVE: Cup Series stage and race updates from Kansas Speedway

Ryan Blaney locked himself into the Round of 8 last weekend at New Hampshire and, with Shane van Gisbergen favorite to take victory at the Charlotte Roval next weekend, Kansas is the last real chance to win-and-in for those unwilling to leave things down to the SVG lottery.

Team Penske had looked the fastest of the playoff organizations last weekend at New Hampshire, but had a disastrous start to Saturday when Ryan Blaney blew a tire and wrecked in practice, leaving him unable to qualify and putting him into the spare car for the race.

On a disastrous afternoon for the team, Joey Logano managed to survive his own blown tire in practice, a little before Austin Cindric put himself behind the 8-ball by hitting the wall in qualifying – not enough to wreck, but enough to ruin his lap and cause concerns about whether his car will need fixing – before Logano qualified down in 35th.

While Blaney is locked into the Round of 8 thanks to last weekend's week, Cindric sits well below the cut line at -19, with Logano car from safe at +24 before Sunday's race and next week at the Roval – and every car behind him in the standings starting in the top 12 at Kansas.
