Source-derived summary

April race

The AdventHealth 400 is the current name for the April race. Kansas received a second date beginning in 2011 part of a NASCAR schedule realignment.

Tyler Reddick is the defending winner.

History

The inaugural race was held on June 5, 2011. Like the fall race at Kansas, the distance of the race was 400.5 miles (644.542 km). Brad Keselowski won the inaugural running of the race ahead of Dale Earnhardt Jr. after saving fuel. Unlike 2011, the

2012 race was moved to April 22, 2012, to allow more time for the Kansas Speedway to complete the track's reconfiguration. During the 2012 STP 400, A. J. Allmendinger won the pole position with a time of 30.683 seconds, but Denny Hamlin won the race after passing Martin Truex Jr.
