Harrison Burton finished fourth last weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, making him the highest-finishing rookie and awarding him the Rookie of the Race award. Burton has 11 rookie awards this season.
Jesse Little was the second-highest finishing rookie in 14th. Riley Herbst, who won the rookie award at Kentucky Speedway with a strong run, was involved in an early on-track incident, forcing him to finish in 36th.
Luckily for Herbst, he is still holding onto his second-place ranking in the rookie standings.
Looking ahead to Kansas, Burton has made one start at the track and that was in 2019 for Joe Gibbs Racing. He will be looking for redemption on Saturday as he finished 34th last season after being involved in a wreck on Lap 70.
Burton is the only rookie with any experience under his belt at Kansas so the other five drivers will make their track debuts.
