Kansas Speedway
Race Menu for the weekend series

Kansas Speedway boasts great views from every seat and easy access in and out of the 1 1/2-mile,
state-of-the-art facility, a response to growing interest for motorsports entertainment in the Midwest.
Though the tri-oval track design is not unique to Kansas Speedway,
a slight difference in the banking makes this track unique.



Track Facts
Banking/Turns: 15 degrees
Distance: 1.5 miles

Wow, those are some nice cool days. Should be comfy.

[NormsRevenge]

I wonder how the tars will do,, should be a fast track..

[glock rocks]

FReeper Fantasy League Fans...
Your selections are due by Sat Oct 8 at 5:00am EDT.
(so maybe you'd best make them by Friday night!)

[glock rocks]

I wonder how the tars will do,, should be a fast track..

Dunno. They're the same tires they run at Calif and Chicago. According to Jayski, pit window is around 60 laps on fuel.

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks for the reminder.

I'm just sitting up her in the cheap seats watching y'all make fools of yourselves...

[tubebender]

Ah So! I think you just gave away the family jewels with that chart...

[NormsRevenge]

Rusty, Smoke and Newman look to have the upper hand on the rest in that chart. Thanks!

[NYTexan]

Don't count Flash out! He's my starter this week!

[SouthTexas]

Thanks for the ping!

[steveegg]

Hate to tell you this, but the DEW line is another victim of the war between Level 3 and Cogent.

Pardon me while I do some self-promotion :-) No Runny Eggs is alive.

[tubebender]

LOL...I was just going to post a link to your Scramble...

[NYTexan]

It's all in the interpretation there Tork!

Ya'll know it's a crapshoot when it's down to the wire!

[SouthTexas]

You may be right, but as much as I'd like to chose him, I still have my doubts.

[NYTexan]

He does know the track well, now if he can get a ride that suits him, I'll be all set!

[SouthTexas]

That's the big question.

Here's a blurb on the 29 CC penalty.

Childress to appeal Berrier's Talladega penalty
Posted by Krissy on 10/5/2005, 8:28 pm

Richard Childress Racing will appeal the penalty NASCAR handed down Tuesday to crew chief Todd Berrier, the team announced Wednesday.
Berrier, crew chief for Kevin Harvick, was suspended two races, fined $10,000 and placed on probation for the rest of 2005 for violations found after qualifying last week at Talladega Superspeedway.
"After several discussions with the crew of the No. 29 team, we have decided to appeal NASCAR's ruling," Childress said ina statement. We feel we have a responsibility to GM Goodwrench and all of our sponsors, as well as all of our fans, to stand up for what we think is right."

Berrier was kicked out of the track after the violation was found. It was the second time Berrier was penalized in 2005: Berrier was fined $25,000, suspended four races and the team and driver each docked 25 points after it was discovered the team had altered the car’s fuel cell prior to qualifying at Las Vegas.

The Talladega violations were an "unapproved aerodynamic modification and unapproved fuel cell vent mounting," NASCAR said.
