NASCAR Race Today: Kansas start time, TV channel, live stream and lineup

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs hit Kansas Speedway today - Sunday, September 28 - and we've got all of the details you need to know ahead of the action.

The Hollywood Casino 400 Presented by ESPN BET will see the Cup Series stars complete 267 laps around the 1.5 mile tri-oval, with the playoff stakes increasing race by race.

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.

Cindric will be the highest starting Penske car all the way down in 26th, with Logano 35th and Blaney 37th before any penalties for adjustments or tech failures.

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.
