NBC Sports presents a Kansas showdown worthy of Wyatt Earp this weekend when the NASCAR Sprint Cup playoffs headline a twin bill of racing at Kansas Speedway. NBCSN presents NASCAR XFINITY Series racing from Kansas Saturday at 4 p.m., followed by NASCAR Sprint Cup coverage Sunday at 1:30 p.m. ET on NBC. After rain postponed last Saturday's prime time race from Charlotte, this Sunday's event marks the first Sprint Cup Playoff race of the season broadcast on NBC. With only six more races before the 2015 Sprint Cup Champion is crowned, the action is heating up as drivers head into the second race in the Round of 12.
Before the green flag falls on Sunday's race, Steve Letarte talks with four crew chiefs strategizing their path to the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship. The group consists of two crew chiefs considered rookies: Adam Stevens and Cole Pearn, and two veterans: Todd Gordon, and Rodney Childers. Letarte talks to each of them "chief to chief," and discusses their individual approaches toward the same goal, a 2015 Sprint Cup Championship.
