Welcome to Kansas
KANSAS CITY, Kansas – Welcome to Kansas Raceway site of this weekend’s USAC Silver Crown finale. Teams spent the day unloading today.
The USAC pits are located outside of the Busch Series pits in a tight area that is normally used for media live truck and satellite truck parking. The action gets underway early Friday morning with practice at 9am and qualifying at 10:45am. There is then a seven and a half hour break until final practice at 6:15pm. The NASCAR Nextel Cup Series will practice and qualify Friday. The NASCAR Busch Series will also practice Friday.
The Silver Crown cars are not scheduled on track until 5ish Saturday. The track will see Cup practice, Busch qualifying and the Busch race prior to the start of the Silver Crown season finale. We will have complete coverage this weekend beginning at 8am.
Interesting Fact: While Belleville, Kansas has produced some of the best USAC midget racing, this weekend’s race is the Silver Crown Series first visit to Kansas.
