Okay, so I got curious about who’s actually won races at Kansas Speedway over the years. It’s one of those tracks you hear about a lot, so I figured I’d look it up myself.
First thing I did was just jump on my computer. Opened up a search engine, you know the drill. I typed in a few different things, stuff like “kansas speedway past winners” and “NASCAR kansas race history”. Just wanted to see what popped up.
Got a fair few results back. Sports websites, racing stats pages, that kind of thing. I started clicking through a couple of the more promising ones. Had to sift through some race reports and news bits, but the core info was there.
Putting Together a List
I started jotting down names and the years they won. It wasn’t super scientific, just grabbing the info as I saw it. Here’s a rough list of some winners I pulled together from my search:
- Kyle Larson (He won fairly recently, seemed to pop up)
- Denny Hamlin (His name came up multiple times, definitely won more than once)
- Joey Logano (Remember seeing his name there too)
- Kevin Harvick (Another guy with multiple wins, for sure)
- Martin Truex Jr. (He had a good run there a few years back it seems)
- Jimmie Johnson (Going back a bit further, he was dominant everywhere, including Kansas)
- Jeff Gordon (Another legend who definitely scored wins at this track)
It’s interesting when you start listing them out. You see certain drivers really had that track figured out for stretches. Denny Hamlin, for example, seems to really like Kansas based on the results I saw.
Just Sorting Through
It took a little bit of clicking around, comparing a few lists I found on different sites just to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. Some sites listed the specific race names, like the spring race versus the fall playoff race, which added a bit more detail.
So yeah, that was my little exercise for today. Just a straightforward lookup to satisfy my curiosity about the Kansas Speedway winners. Didn’t take too long, and it’s always kind of neat to see the history laid out like that. Found what I was looking for. Simple as that.
