NASCAR at Kansas: TV schedule, lineup, qualifying drivers for the Hollywood Casino 400 image

The final race of the second round of NASCAR's playoffs will be at Kansas Speedway on Sunday and Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr. and Kevin Harvick have to feel great about earning an automatic berth in the third round.

All three already have a great chance to move on to the third round, but with this race being at a 1.5-mile intermediate track, there is going to be an extra level of comfort for these three drivers.

Truex is well-known for his prowess on intermediate tracks while Busch and Harvick have had great success on them as well. 

The only two drivers guaranteed a spot in the third round of the playoffs right now are Ryan Blaney after his win at Talladega and Kyle Larson following his win at Dover.

Both of those men competed for a win at Kansas last season, but Larson has had his struggles at the track so he'll be happy not to have to win this weekend to book his ticket into the third round.

Alex Bowman, Chase Elliott, Clint Bowyer, and William Byron are on the outside looking in for the playoffs, but wins could earn them automatic berths to the third round as well.
