The NASCAR Cup Series heads to another 1.5-mile track this weekend for the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway.

Last year, Kyle Larson won the spring race in the closest finish in NASCAR Cup history, outlasting Chris Buescher in a photo finish.

In the fall, Ross Chastain earned the win in the playoff race despite not making the field.

Mike Organ's pick: Denny Hamlin, No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota

Things cannot get much worse for Hamlin. Right? Last week, his engine blew up, which doesn't happen often these days. The week before at Talladega, after getting blocked by Ross Chastain, Hamlin finished outside the top 20. In the three races before Talladega, Hamlin was second (Bristol), first (Darlington), and first (Martinsville). He'll get back on track at Kansas.

Nick Gray's pick: Alex Bowman, No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet

Bowman has been running well this season, and has been competitive on 1.5-mile tracks. It's time for Bowman return to the winner's circle at an oval.

Austin Chastain's pick: Josh Berry, No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford

Josh Berry has been running well at 1.5-mile tracks, including his first Cup Series career win at Las Vegas. He ran well at Texas until he got out of the groove and spun, ending his day. Berry gets the job done in Kansas.

Tom Kreager's pick: Bubba Wallace, No. 23 23XI Racing Toyota

Bubba has a win at Kansas to go with three top-10 finishes over the past four years. If he can stay out of trouble (unlike at Texas) he should be a contender this weekend.
