The NASCAR Cup Series arrives in Kansas City, Kansas, for a Mother’s Day race at Kansas Speedway. And if this year’s race is anything like last year’s, fans could be in store for a whole lot of drama and an incredible finish.

At the 2024 spring race, it came down to a freeze-frame, to a numerical measurement basically undetectable, to see which driver crossed the finish line first at the 1.5-mile track. In the end, after slow-motion video review, Kyle Larson edged Chris Buescher for the checkered flag by 0.001 seconds in the closest finish in NASCAR history.

Larson has won two Cup races at Kansas in his career, while Denny Hamlin has the most wins at the track among active drivers with four. Another driver to keep an eye on is Bubba Wallace, who scored the second win of his Cup Series career at the speedway in 2022.
