CATCHING UP: All three Team Penske entries took part in practice and qualifying Saturday ahead of Sunday's AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. The organization has six NASCAR Cup Series wins at the 1.5-mile track, including three from Joey Logano, who also ranks seventh on Kansas' all-time laps led list with 514. Ryan Blaney leads the series in stage points through eight races with 81 and ranks first in laps run inside the top five with 1,158 of 2,343 total laps completed. The 1.5-mile Kansas City track remains a venue where Blaney is still chasing his first Cup Series win, though he has recorded nine top-10 finishes in 22 starts at the track where he made his series debut in 2014. Meanwhile, Austin Cindric has posted top-10 finishes in each of the last seven stages dating back to Stage 2 at Las Vegas - the longest active stage top-10 streak in the Cup Series.
