NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES OFFICIAL RACE RESULTS from Kansas, the land of many cautions!

I kept waiting for some kind of race report to show up in my face yesterday.  (I missed the majority of the Cup race from Kansas).  But with no SPEED channel to tune into these days, you actually have to dig up a NASCAR source to get what you want.

By the time I was thinking of getting around to it, well, the NASCAR results press release landed in my inbox... so here they are!
