Get Ready for a High-Octane Friday at Texas Motor Speedway!
The roar of engines is about to echo through the Texas plains as NASCAR gears up for a day of rubber-burning action. The stage is set for an epic showdown, with the Craftsman Truck Series teams flexing their muscles in practice, qualification, and the ultimate race on this iconic 1.5-mile track.
And let's not forget the Xfinity teams - they're putting pedal to the metal in practice and qualification before Saturday's high-speed chase.
"Who will claim the crown at Texas this year?"
With Carson Hocevar, the dramatic last-season winner, out of the contest, the field is wide open for the speed-hungry gladiators. This Friday's race is missing no drama with Johnny Sauter, a five-time Texas champ, back and revving to go with Niece Motorsports.
Kyle Busch, another five-timer with the taste of Texas victory, is buckling up for his third start with Spire Motorsports. Matt Crafton and Stewart Friesen, both with multiple Texas trophies, aim to blast past the checkered flag yet again.
