Last week at Bristol we got to see some mediocre racing with barely any tire falloff that ended with Joey Logano in victory lane. However, the storyline after the race was Blaney vs. Hocevar with the fight heard ’round the NASCAR world. Up next we go to a track that has seen punches thrown and Penske controversy before, Kansas. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Kansas Speedway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position in the Next Gen era. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
In this post you will only find active and Next Gen stats, if you are looking for all-time stats check out my previous article All-Time Cup Track Stats: Kansas.

Active means any driver who started a race in the 2026 Cup Series season.
