Kansas Speedway features 17° to 20° progressive banking in turns 1-4 with a 1.5-mile D-shaped tri-oval. Trucks rely on high aerodynamic side-force and right-side tire load; right-front wear dictates corner entry speed, while right-rear lateral slip limits throttle pickup on exit.
A 4-tire change requires roughly 13.2 to 14.0 seconds stationary, while 2 right-side tires take just 5.8 to 6.5 seconds. On cold tires, fresh rubber yields up to 1.1s per lap advantage. If 15 or fewer laps remain, track position from 2 tires typically defends against 4 fresh tires.
With an 18.5-gallon fuel cell and ~0.26 gal/lap consumption at full throttle, green flag stints top out at 68-71 laps. Pitting early (undercut) gains clean air and fresh rubber, but risks being caught a lap down if a natural caution comes out before the field cycles through.
