The NASCAR Cup Series continues this weekend with a new race as spectators head to Kansas City for the Hollywood Casino 400.
The Hollywood Casino 400 is a 400.5-mile (644.5 km) NASCAR Cup Series stock car race held at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas.
It has hosted some of the most memorable races in NASCAR history, and this year is looking promising too.
How many laps is the Hollywood Casino 400?
The race is contested over 267 laps on the 1.5 mi (2.4 km) intermediate speedway.
This means that the race will last for approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes, assuming there are no caution periods.
When is the Hollywood Casino 400?
The race is scheduled to start at 3:00 PM ET on Sunday, September 10, 2023, so, if there are no caution periods, the race should end around 6:30 PM ET.
However, it is important to note that caution periods can add significant time to the length of a NASCAR race.
A caution period is called when there is an accident or other incident that forces the cars to slow down or stop.
During a caution period, the cars are bunched together and the pace car leads them around the track and can last anywhere from a few laps to several laps, depending on the severity of the incident.
So, the actual length of the Hollywood Casino 400 will depend on how many caution periods there are.
If there are a few caution periods, the race could last closer to 4 hours, but if there are no caution periods, the race should last about 3 hours and 30 minutes.
