Contested over 267 laps, on the 1.5 mile (2.4 km) asphalt speedway, it was the 11th race of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season.

Anheuser-Busch on their @BuschBeer twitter account asked fans to vote on the title sponsor name for the race.

The options were between "The Busch Latte 400", "Nectar of the Cobs 400", "For the Farmers 400", and "Buschy McBusch Race 400" with the last one ultimately winning the fan vote.

Mike Joy, three-time Kansas winner Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer called the race from the broadcast booth.

Steve Post and Pete Pistone worked pit road for the radio side.
