Good evening y'all and welcome to a new elimination round race in the current convoluted and comical Nascar 2018 season and it's continued controversial chase for the Monster Cup. Today we are race guests of the Circuit of the Americas Kansas Speedway. 4 drivers out, 8 move on. Wow.

Let's talk location:

a normal exhilarating day in Kansas

Kansas is known around the world for things. It has cities, and rivers, and fields. Also people.

The Kansas Speedway is one of them 1.5 milers, a trioval that'll make Jeff Burton's vocal chords seem like the constant shrieks of hellhound when he maddeningly describes just how treacherous the 'trioval section' is.

Kansas City is actually kinda in Missouri, hence the name of the river that runs through the city. It boasts a population roughly half the size of Iceland. And it's nickname is KCK, which is one consonant away from something mean and bad.

Kansas City even has local sports teams.

The thing I know most about Kansas is tornados and supercell thunderstorms. Here are some documentaries about this wonderful topic:





Also, there's a thing in Kansas called the Stull Cemetary, an alleged Portal to Hell. Much like Kyle Larson's pitbox.

nice place, will visit

Astrology Chart of the Race:

disclaimer: chart is for Transylvania race time, but it's fine, don't worry

Interpretation: with the Waxing Gibbous Moon in Pisces coming into a conjunction with Chiron retrograde at the 28th degree of Pisces, someone will get very sad after this race.

Here's someone from Kansas:

I like Martin Truex partly because his surname sounds like it could be a sponsor too.

Congrats, Chase--but Kansas was the second-best race on TV today.
