NASCAR at Kansas 2015: Race Schedule, Live Stream Info and Drivers to Watch

NASCAR hits the heartland this weekend with another Sprint Cup Series doozy, as the top drivers on the circuit set their sights on winning the SpongeBob SquarePants 400.

Nevermind the fact that Kansas is miles away from any sort of coastland, the SpongeBob SquarePants 400—formerly known as the STP 400 and the 5 Hour Energy 400—has brought out the creative sides of some of the driving teams. According to NBC Sports' Jerry Bonkowski, five drivers will be sporting paint jobs inspired by the Nickelodeon cartoon series, including the likes of Greg Biffle and Casey Mears.

Kevin Harvick is the points leader heading into this race, and he will be looking to fend of any and all challengers as he looks to build upon his fantastic start to the Cup series.

It should be another exciting day out on the track for NASCAR. If you don't want to miss out on the fun, check out the race schedule, live stream info and drivers to watch below.

Drivers To Watch

Joey Logano's done quite well for himself on the practice runs and qualifying rounds in 2015. After winning the pole for the SpongeBob SquarePants 400 on Friday, he automatically becomes one of the drivers to watch on Saturday.

SB Nation's Jordan Bianchi points out that Logano has been excellent when winning the pole this season:

"

Logano's speed (192.397 mph) gave him his fourth No. 1 starting position of the season. His previous poles came at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Martinsville Speedway and Richmond International Speedway and in each race Logano would go on to finish no worse than fifth.

"

Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski will start from the third position. Logano is sitting pretty in the Sprint Cup Series standings in fourth place and is just 59 points behind overall leader Kevin Harvick. He's been extremely consistent this year, finishing in the top-10 in eight of 10 races but hasn't picked up a win since the Daytona 500 on Feb. 22. Look for Logano to keep his composure and finish no worse than fifth.

Jeff Gordon

Although he doesn't have a win yet this season, Jeff Gordon is a major threat in any race he takes part in, especially when that race is in Kansas.

Gordon won here last year—when the sponsor was 5 Hour Energy—and Jim Utter of The Charlotte Observer notes that victory was crucial to a successful 2014 campaign:

"

During a strong start to the 2014 season, Jeff Gordon finally broke into Victory Lane at Kansas Speedway last spring, punching his ticket to the Chase.

Gordon would end up winning four races last year – the most since 2007 – and ended up sixth in the series standings.

Gordon could use a repeat performance in Saturday night’s SpongeBob SquarePants 400 in more ways than one.

"

The 43-year-old didn't have the smoothest of qualifying rounds and will start 11th, but he has confidence in his ability to handle this track.

"Every time I drive into the corner, I like this place, like the way it flows, like the way the car feels," he said, via the Associated Press (h/t IndyStar.com). "I just feel like I know this track every well."

Gordon is 117 points back and in 13th place in the Sprint Cup standings. Considering this is his last run on the circuit before stepping down as a full-time driver, he has to be a driver to keep an eye on at a track that has been so good to him throughout his illustrious career. If there is any track that can jumpstart Gordon's season and turn it into one worthy of his name, it's the Kansas Speedway.
