NASCAR has confirmed that Kansas Speedway will host two high‑profile race weekends in 2027, scheduling them for May 8‑9 and October 1‑3. The events will bring the full complement of NASCAR’s national series to the historic 1.5‑mile venue in the heart of the Midwest.
The May weekend will open with a CRAFTSMAN Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series doubleheader on May 8, followed by the NASCAR Cup Series race on May 9. This combination promises a busy and competitive slate for fans who enjoy a variety of racing formats in a single weekend.
October’s Chase weekend will feature all four NASCAR series across consecutive days. The O’Reilly Auto Parts Series will run on October 2, the Cup Series on October 3, and both the Truck and ARCA series will conclude the weekend on October 1 with their own doubleheader events.
A milestone for Midwest racing fans
Kansas Speedway President Pat Warren highlighted the growing demand for NASCAR events in the region, noting that the 2027 schedule reflects the sport’s expanding footprint and the track’s ability to deliver thrilling on‑track action.
The announcement comes on the heels of one of the most dramatic finishes in recent memory. The 2024 AdventHealth 400 ended with the closest margin in Cup Series history, as Kyle Larson edged out the competition by just 0.001 seconds, underscoring the unpredictable excitement that Kansas Speedway can produce.
Fans eager to secure their seats can purchase tickets for the 2026 Hollywood Casino 400 Weekend, which will serve as the kickoff for the 2027 Chase schedule. Tickets are currently available through the official Kansas Speedway website.
