Last week’s STP400 at Kansas Speedway was far from the Demolition Derby I predicted, with the construction crews coming up the big winner considering there were no big wrecks and very few caution flags.  Now the track at Kansas is torn up and crews race against the clock to ensure the racing surface is prepared [...]
