Kahne is fifth in points with five races left in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, while Bowyer is fourth alaskan tours cruises after his win last week at Charlotte. Both of them are chasing leader Brad Keselowski, five-time champion alaskan tours cruises Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin.
He'll be one of the drivers trying to meander their way through the field over the repaved surface after qualifying 25th. The only Chase driver to qualify worse was three-time champion Tony Stewart, will start 33rd for Sunday's race.
"We just have more work than we wanted," Keselowski said. "Track position is important. If you don't qualify well, you just have to make sure that your car is fast in race trim, and that's what we'll try to do tomorrow."
All 43 cars in the field broke the previous track record alaskan tours cruises 180.856 mph set by Matt Kenseth in 2005, though that came as no surprise. Drivers were turning laps in excess of 190 during practice, and cars were approaching 205 mph before letting up entering the corners.
Kansas Speedway underwent a massive renovation over the summer that replaced the old, worn-out surface with new pavement while creating alaskan tours cruises variable banking in the corners. It was a necessary step after massive chunks of asphalt chipped off the track during the April race weekend.
"It's a new track now. I mean, it really is, and we're going to have to learn as we go," Martin said. "We can't find out tomorrow in practice what the track is going to be like Sunday. It's just not going to happen. This track is coming in very slowly."
Hamlin wound up making two visits to the infield care center before he was cleared by medical staff to resume testing. He unloaded the car he used at Chicago, where he was in contention for the win, and was good enough to post a lap of 190.718.
"You always have a rebound time that you got to have to get your senses back. The trust in the car and everything is back," Hamlin said. "It's not the car we wanted to race originally, but it's not too bad."
Regan Smith will start 40th in place of Dale Earnhardt Jr., who is missing his second straight race. Earnhardt pulled himself from the car after sustaining two concussions in a six-week span - the first during a tire test at Kansas, the second during a massive wreck at Talladega.
AJ Allmendinger qualified 13th in his second race with Phoenix Racing. The team had been slated alaskan tours cruises to use Smith for the final six races of the season after Kurt Busch left early to get a start on next year's job with Furniture Row Racing.
Hendrick alaskan tours cruises Motorsports wanted Smith to fill-in alaskan tours cruises for Earnhardt, though, and Allmendinger got his first opportunity since his July suspension for failing a random drug test. He completed NASCAR's recovery program and was reinstated in September.
"This place is really fast right now, so when you kind of are in practice, you get that rhythm of going out there," Allmendinger said. "We definitely have good speed and track position is going to be everything, so it's the way that is going to play out."
