Martin Truex Jr.

From the time the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota was fast all weekend, as he was finally able to seal the deal with a win at Kansas after coming close on several prior occasions.

Brad Keselowski

It’s been a dominant year for Team Penske, with Keselowski winning twice and teammate Joey Logano once already. Keselowski made a great late-race charge.

Kevin Harvick

Prior to Saturday night, Harvick had finished first or second in five of the previous seven Kansas races. He had another really good run this time.

Ryan Blaney

Friday, Blaney earned his first career pole in 65 Cup starts and punched his ticket to next year’s Advance Auto Parts Clash. Blaney went on to win Stage 2 and finish second in the race.

Kyle Busch

Last year, Busch won this race, but Joe Gibbs Racing has struggled as a team and he could not make it to Victory Lane. Still, Busch had good speed, earning his first stage win since Stage 1 in the Daytona 500.

Kyle Larson

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series points leader had to race in his backup car after crashing his primary Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet on Friday. He ran well throughout the race.

Daniel Suarez

The Joe Gibbs Racing rookie continues to make good progress replacing Carl Edwards.

Jamie McMurray

Although he’s a native of Missouri, McMurray doesn’t really consider Kansas a home track.

Clint Bowyer

The Kansas native was tremendously frustrated that he was one of 11 drivers who had inspection issues and as a result didn’t get to qualify.

Trevor Bayne

Like his Roush Fenway Racing teammate Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Bayne has had noticeably faster cars this season than in the last two.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

After his breakthrough first Cup victory a week earlier at Talladega, Stenhouse came to Kansas with a lot of momentum. But it didn’t translate into another stellar run, as he was one of several drivers who had a loose wheel.

Matt Kenseth

Twice Kenseth has found Victory Lane at Kansas, but he was unable to win a third tonight.

Michael McDowell

Great run by McDowell and the Leavine Family Racing team after they lost an engine in qualifying.

Ty Dillon

Another solid effort for Dillon in the Germain Racing Chevrolet. He’s having an excellent rookie season.

Kasey Kahne

Like Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kahne didn’t get to make a qualifying attempt because his car didn’t make it through tech. Still, Kahne raced well.

Austin Dillon

In the two Kansas races last year, Dillon finished sixth both times.

David Ragan

After a top-10 at Talladega, a top-20 for Ragan.

Chris Buescher

After a rocky start to the season, Buescher has started to run better in recent weeks.

Kurt Busch

The Daytona 500 winner seems to be getting his mojo back after a few struggles in the early part of the season.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

It’s been a challenging season for Earnhardt who did not get to make a qualifying attempt Friday when his car failed to pass tech.

Landon Cassill

Cassill and the Front Row Motorsports group are starting to show some better performance in recent weeks.

Erik Jones

Jones spun three separate times but never made contact with anything. He battled back several times but his final spin came too close to the finish.

Denny Hamlin

Hamlin ran in the top 10 for the majority of the race but contact with Jimmie Johnson and Kurt Busch dropped him out of contention.

Jimmie Johnson

Johnson drove through the field time after time but got turned late which led to a poor result.

Reed Sorenson

Solid effort by Sorenson to keep his car clean and benefit from a lot of cautions and wrecked cars.

Cole Whitt

Another finish to be proud of by Whitt and the No. 72 TriStar Motorsports team.

Corey LaJoie

LaJoie brought out two cautions but somehow found a way to hang in there for a top-30 finish.

Timmy Hill

Hill avoided getting caught in one of the record number of cautions and comes home with a decent result.

Chase Elliott

Elliott hit Michael McDowell in the pits early in the race and ended up several laps down. He battled back as much as he could but still finished nine laps down.

AJ Allmendinger

Allmendinger wrecked with Paul Menard and finished 10 laps down.

Carl Long

In his first race back in NASCAR in eight years, Long logged laps and recorded a 31st-place finish.

Matt DiBenedetto

DiBenedetto fell many laps down early but kept his car on track and gained spots through accidents.

Jeffrey Earnhardt

The fourth-generation driver keeps learning in the Cup Series.

Gray Gaulding

Gaulding continues to gain experience in the Monster Energy Series.

Paul Menard

After crashing with Allmendinger, Menard tried to get back on track but couldn’t make much happen.

Danica Patrick

A terribly hard crash for Patrick ended her day with 69 laps to go. Fortunately, she walked away without any injuries.

Joey Logano

Logano suffered a mechanical failure and caused a vicious accident involving Patrick and Almirola.

Aric Almirola

Almirola took a severe hit into Logano’s car that lifted his No. 43 Ford into the air. He was cut out of his car and taken to a local hospital for observation. FOXSports.com sends our thoughts to Almirola.

Derrike Cope

Cope returned after skipping the past two races.

Ryan Newman

An early engine failure bounced Newman from the race and led to a last place finish.
