KANSAS CITY, Mo. — NASCAR announced Wednesday that Kansas Speedway will once again host two NASCAR Cup Series race weekends in 2026.
The spring weekend of action next year is slated for April 18-19, followed by the return of the NASCAR Playoffs on September 26-27.

The Hollywood Casino 400 Cup Series Playoff Race on Sept. 27, 2026, is the cornerstone event for a weekend that also includes the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Playoff race on Sept. 26, 2026.
“NASCAR racing at Kansas Speedway is always phenomenal, so this provides fans with a pair of exciting opportunities to enjoy it in person,” said Kansas Speedway President Pat Warren.
