The next NASCAR Truck Series race will take place in Kansas City. The Heart of America 200 will take place on Saturday, May 6, at the Kansas Motor Speedway. Practice will start at 12:05 PM ET, followed by qualifying at 12:35 PM ET, making it a full day of action.

With its 1.5-mile asphalt track, Kansas Motor Speedway will use one-lap qualifying. Each truck will have a 20-minute warm-up and practice period. After that, a one-lap, single-truck qualifying will be run by each truck.

As the remainder of the starting lineup for Saturday night's race is decided, the truck with the fastest time will be given pole position.

You can catch the Truck Series race on May 6 at 12:35 PM ET on FS1. On Saturday, qualifying will be live-streamed via Fox Sports Live or on the FOX Sports App if you aren't near a television. It will call for a cable login with FS1 access. For a free trial of YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, AT&T TV Now, FuboTV, or Sling TV if you don't have a cable login, you may watch the race online.

One of Kansas' Cup favorites is Kyle Larson. He has finished seventh or better three times in a row including a win at Kansas and has won five of the last 16 races he has run on 1.5-mile tracks.
