NASCAR heads to Kansas Speedway this weekend and all three national series have playoff races there. The Cup Series begins the second round at Kansas. The Xfinity Series playoffs begin. The first round of the Truck playoffs will end.

In the first-ever NASCAR broadcast on The CW, the ratings were through the roof. The over-the-air channel had 906,000 viewers tuned in. NBC handed The CW coverage of the final eight races of the season to get a jumpstart on 2025.

More than one million people tuned in to watch Cole Custer move himself into pole position to win the Bristol Xfinity race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday, according to Nielsen ratings shared by Nexstar Media Group on Monday.
