Introduction
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is the top racing series of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). It is named for the sponsorship of the Sprint Corporation. The cup series began in 1949 as the Strictly Stock Division and was renamed in 1950 to the Grand National Division. In 1971 it was renamed again to the Winston Cup Grand National Division when Winston tobacco became its sponsor, and then to its current form in 2004 when Sprint Corporation took over as title sponsor. NASCAR’s other major racing series is the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
The Kansas Speedway is a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) tri-oval race track in Kansas City, Kansas. The track opened in 2001 and it currently hosts two annual NASCAR race weekends. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races on Saturday nights in late April or early May, while the NASCAR Xfinity Series races on Fridays nights during the same weekend.
