Kansas Speedway fans have been asking the
same question for years; when will the track play host to a NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series night race?
That question was finally answered today; May
10, 2014.
In addition to the track’s first-ever
nighttime Sprint Cup Series race, Kansas Speedway race fans will also see the
sparks fly with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series racing under the lights
on May 9.
“I’m excited to be able to tell our
fans that Kansas Speedway will be hosting a Sprint Cup Series night race next
year,” said Kansas Speedway President Patrick Warren. “Fans continually ask me
about a night race and I know that we will have tremendous support from our
fans throughout the Midwest for our first Sprint Cup Series night race.
Frankly, I look forward to seeing NASCAR under the lights at Kansas Speedway as
much as our fans do!”
The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup returns
to Kansas Speedway for the fourth race in the Chase on Oct. 5, 2014. Kansas
Speedway has hosted a race in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup every year
since the inception of the Chase in 2004. The day preceding the fourth
race in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup (Oct. 4) will see the NASCAR
Nationwide Series cars battle it out.
Following the highly successful debut of
professional sports car racing this past August, International Motor Sports
Association (IMSA) Road Racing returns to the infield road course at Kansas
Speedway on June 7 with the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Series,
Cooper Tire Prototype Lights and Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge.
Current Kansas Speedway ticket holders will
have the first opportunity to purchase tickets to Kansas Speedway’s inaugural
night race. Tickets for 2014 races, including Kansas Speedway’s inaugural night
race, will go on sale later this year. Visit www.kansasspeedway.com
