The Xfinity Series playoffs continue with a Round of 12 race at Kansas Speedway<\/a> on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

This marks the second event of the Xfinity playoffs. None of the championship-eligible drivers secured a spot in the Round of 8 two weekends ago at Bristol Motor Speedway due to a non-playoff driver, Aric Almirola<\/a>, winning.<\/p>\n

Only two races remain in the opening round \u2014 Kansas Speedway and the Charlotte Roval.<\/p>\n

I think, for me, I have perfect notes on that race track. I have notes on how to win at that track, I have notes on how to sit on the pole at that track. There’s no excuse why we don’t go there and have a really solid week.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Xfinity Series playoffs continue with a Round of 12 race at Kansas Speedway on Saturday afternoon.
