The NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs continue in America’s heartland at Kansas Speedway this Saturday for the second of three Round of 12 contests (4 p.m. ET, The CW, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
No. 1 seed Connor Zilisch enters with an 85-point buffer over the cutline. Joe Gibbs Racing’s Taylor Gray currently holds the final provisional spot above the cutline, three markers to the good. Nick Sanchez (minus-3), Jesse Love (minus-3), Austin Hill (minus-16) and Sammy Smith (minus-24) have two races to avoid elimination.
Craftsman Truck Series star Rajah Caruth will team up with Hendrick Motorsports for the first time this year in the No. 17 entry in what will be his third Xfinity Series start of 2025. ARCA Menards Series regular Brenden “Butterbean” Queen will additionally rejoin the Kaulig Racing fold and pilot the No. 11 Chevrolet this weekend. Queen made his Xfinity debut at Bristol Motor Speedway in September, finishing 20th in the No. 11 Kaulig machine.
