Kansas Preview

The Kansas Lottery $150 Grand race is scheduled for Friday at 4:00 PM at Kansas Speedway. Race fans can attend the race for free, courtesy of the Kansas Lottery. Click here for promotion details. The race is part of a weekend of racing at the track that includes a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race on Saturday and an IRL race on Sunday.

I asked Tim about his experience racing at Kansas Speedway: "I enjoy racing at Kansas. We have run there 3 or 4 times and have had decent luck at the track. The most difficult part of the track is coming out of Turn 2. If you aren't careful, it can put you in a spin."

The weather at the track has gone from a hail storm Monday night- "not much fun when you're in a motor home" said Tim, to sunny weather today with a forecast in the 80s. However, rain is predicted to move in later tonight and Friday morning, which could impact qualifying again this week.

Good luck this weekend!

Just to clarify, is Tim Mitchell the listed crew chief on the car? Or does he have other help?

Thank you.
