Kansas City Sports Roundup

NASCAR

Professional racing isn’t a year round thing in Kansas City sports. However, the Kansas Speedway hosts two major races every year on the NASCAR Cup Series. That includes a playoff race in the Round of 12 in NASCAR’s version of the postseason. Between the Go Bowling 400 and Hollywood Casino 400, racing has a significant imprint in Kansas City.

Go Bowling 400

The Kansas Speedway hosts one of the few night races of the year tonight with the Go Bowling 400. This is the 11th race of the NASCAR season. There is no odds on favorite for the race, but several hold 6-1 odds in Vegas.
