Episode Details

The Big 12 Tournament at Sprint Center ended on March 11. The next major sporting event in Kansas City will happen 134 days later. The Super Start Battery 400 presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts at Kansas Speedway is Thursday. No fans will be in the stands for the race originally scheduled to run on May 31 but postponed because of the pandemic. But with five races over three days there will be some economic impact in the region.

Kansas Speedway President Pat Warren chatted with SportsBeat KC host Blair Kerkhoff about re-starting the action at the track and where the sport goes from here.

After a break, we’ll continue the media conversation with Chiefs coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach. They spoke Monday during the Chris Jones contract extension news conference, and Veach addresses Jones’ value as a versatile player and Reid details the first few days of training camp.
