By Kevin Roth, sports meteorologist. Weather guide for DFS players and bettors.

Overview

Kansas is a 1.5-mile intermediate oval in Kansas City, Kansas. Spring race in May and playoff race in September or October.

Weather angle

Plains climate produces sustained wind that can affect racing lines and tire wear. Late-May severe-weather risk includes tornado watches. Fall race plays cooler and clearer typically.

For DFS and bettors

Plains wind and severe-weather delay risk are the primary weather angles. Long green-flag runs favor teams with strong tire management.
