The upcoming NASCAR Cup Series race on Sept. 11 has been named the Hollywood Casino 400 presented by Barstool Sportsbook.
The name reflects the opening of the Barstool Sportsbook at Hollywood Casino, just as sports wagering is opening in Kansas. A soft launch for sports wagering was held last week, with sports wagering officially moving into high gear now.
Hollywood Casino opened Barstool Sportsbook under its Turn 2 Sports Bar and Restaurant. Offerings will consist of kiosks, betting windows, odds boards, TVs and a temporary bar. That will provide a place for fans to wager on NASCAR and all the other sports that will be in action during race weekend, according to a spokesman.
Long term, Hollywood Casino plans a permanent Barstool Sportsbook next year that will include a full restaurant, field house games and outdoor accessibility to the giant patio that overlooks Kansas Speedway.
The Hollywood Casino 400 presented by Barstool Sportsbook is the highlight of race weekend at Kansas Speedway.
Action begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series’ Kansas Lottery 200, the final race of the opening round of the Camping World Truck Series playoffs. That sets the table for a Saturday doubleheader that includes the ARCA Menards Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ Kansas Lottery 300.
And then on Sunday, the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series will compete in the second race of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, as drivers vie to advance into the Round of 12 with a win. Kurt Busch won the May race at Kansas Speedway driving a Toyota Camry TRD co-owned by Denny Hamlin and basketball hall of famer Michael Jordan.
