Race: Protection One 400, No. 28 of 36 (267 laps, 400 miles).

When: 1 p.m. (Eastern) Sunday, NBC.

Where: Kansas Speedway, 1.5-mile tri-oval, Kansas City, Kan.

Last year's winner: none (first race).

Three to watch: Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon.

Driving at Kansas: "The groove is around the bottom, it's going to be like Texas and Chicago (were) the first year or so because the track has a lot of grip, and it takes time for these tracks to wear a second and third groove into them." --Jeff Gordon

See a different game: Pit stops and track position are the keys because it is usually tough to pass the first time at a new track.
