Nate Ryan, Dale Jarrett, and Parker Kligerman preview this weekend's NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway and explain why Kyle Larson and William Byron should be the favorites ahead of the weekend.

23XI Racing will look to win its third consecutive Cup race at Kansas Speedway this weekend after Kurt Busch and Bubba Wallace scored wins for the team there last year.

RFK Racing comes into the weekend having put both its cars in the top 10 in back-to-back races for the first time since 2014.

Hendrick Motorsports has not gone more than two races without a Cup victory this season. It has been two races since Hendrick last won a Cup race (Kyle Larson at Martinsville).
