AdventHealth 400 Poised for Historic Kansas Showdown

The 2025 AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway will be held on May 11 as the 12th race of the NASCAR Cup Series season, broadcast at 3 p.m. ET on FS1. Defending champion Kyle Larson, who narrowly beat Chris Buescher by 0.001 seconds in last year's closest-ever NASCAR Cup Series finish, enters as the favorite after seven top-five finishes and two wins this season. Other strong contenders include three-time Kansas winner Denny Hamlin, William Byron, and Tyler Reddick. Team Penske arrives on a hot streak with back-to-back wins, though Ford teams have not won at Kansas since 2020. The 267-lap race will be preceded by qualifying on Saturday. Ross Chastain and Bubba Wallace are considered sleeper picks thanks to their recent strong showings at 1.5-mile tracks.
