Ready to go at Kansas: Key to winning will be to adjust to gusts

Related Topics: Wind, Kansas Speedway

It wouldn't be race day without a weather problem. So, we give you this word from Kansas: wind.

At least Sprint Cup drivers know what to expect. They practiced in a stiff breeze on Saturday and watched the day's Xfinity race. So when the green flag falls at 2:31 p.m. ET Sunday, they will be prepared.

Temperature? No problem. Most of the race will be run in the low 80s. Warm air, warm track.

Rain? Forget about it; nothing but blue skies coming their way.

It's wind that will affect handling. Watch how drivers adjust to gusts up to 25 mph.
