Ross Chastain secured his first victory of the 2024 NASCAR season by winning the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway. Chastain's win came after a late surge, allowing him to outlast William Byron, who finished second, and Martin Truex Jr., who came in third. This victory marks Chastain's fifth career win and his second for Team Trackhouse in the Cup Series. The top five were rounded out by Ryan Blaney and Ty Gibbs. Despite Chastain's win, no playoff drivers have secured a spot in the Round of 8, with upcoming races at Talladega and the Roval looming. Other notable finishes included Alex Bowman in sixth, Christopher Bell in seventh, Denny Hamlin in eighth, Chase Elliott in ninth, and Zane Smith in tenth. There have been 17 different winners this season.
