Michael McDowell's race recap in the Chase race at Kansas in 2026
Check out Michael McDowell's race recap in the NASCAR Cup Series Chase race at Kansas Speedway during the 2026 season.
Michael McDowell concluded the Chase race at Kansas Speedway in 2026 in a 27th place position, sliding five spots down from his starting spot of 22nd. Despite not having enough speed to move the No. 71 Chevrolet into the top 20, McDowell managed to finish the 266-lap race, staying away from the multicar crash involving teammate Carson Hocevar.
He secured 10 points for the finish, but as he did not qualify for the Chase, the result did not impact his championship eligibility. For his team, Spire Motorsports, the day was mixed with Daniel Suárez finishing 14th, while Hocevar experienced significant damage and ended up in 33rd place.
