NASCAR’s Cup Series Sunday (May 15) race at Kansas Speedway featured Kurt Busch scoring his first win of the season and first with 23XI Racing after some valiantly-fought battles for the race lead. Behind them, the return of tire issues for many drivers plagued this 400-mile event, in particular a number of left rears going flat.
