The cool thing about it – Jack Roush never quit on Ricky, and Ricky never quit on Jack. The whole organization received a huge shot in the arm with his Talladega win. That’s the kind of exhilaration and win that really could make the difference not only in Ricky’s season but in his career.” --Jeff Hammond, FOX NASCAR analyst and former crew chief On the potential of Martin Truex Jr. to gain ground on Kyle Larson in the point standings in the next couple of races at intermediate tracks: “If Kyle Larson has a little bit of bad luck and Martin Truex Jr. gets on a roll like we’ve seen him do in the past at the intermediate tracks, he can gobble up those points in the next two races and challenge for the regular season championship. Several things could change in the back (of the top 16) in the same way. Ryan Blaney could get back on a hot streak, score some points and get himself back up in the standings.” --Jeff Hammond, FOX NASCAR analyst and former crew chief On the potential number of winners at the conclusion of the regular season: “If you go down the list of potential winners, you’re looking at as many as 16. Kevin Harvick is going to win. I believe Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Chase Elliott will win before the year is over. AJ Allmendinger likely will win a race, as will Austin Dillon, in addition to the usual suspects. We could have 16 winners and possibly have someone not make the playoffs who actually won a race. It could be based on points to get into the playoffs instead of simply wins.” --Jeff Hammond, FOX NASCAR analyst and former crew chief FOX NASCAR AT KANSAS SPEEDWAY PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE (All times live/Eastern unless otherwise indicated & subject to change) Friday, May 12 MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES practice (11:30 AM-12:30 PM) (FS1) NASCAR RACE HUB WEEKEND EDITION (12:30-1:30 PM) (FS1) MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES final practice (1:30-3:00 PM) (FS1) NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES qualifying (4:30-6:00 PM) (FS1) NASCAR RACE HUB WEEKEND EDITION (6:00-6:30 PM) (FS1) MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES qualifying (6:30-8:00 PM) (FS1) NCWTS SETUP (8:00-8:30 PM) (FS1) NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES racing (8:30-11:00 PM) (FS1) NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES post-race (11:00-11:30 PM) (FS1) Saturday, May 13 NASCAR RACEDAY (7:00-7:30 PM) (FS1) MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES racing (7:30-11:00 PM) (FS1) About FOX NASCAR: FOX Sports, broadcasting its 17th consecutive MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES season, is armed with seven championships’ worth of analysis and insight from Hall of Famer and three-time champ Darrell Waltrip alongside four-time champion Jeff Gordon, veteran play-by-play announcer Mike Joy and former crew chief Larry McReynolds with race analysis.
