The three national NASCAR series are in action this weekend for the lone trip to Texas Motor Speedway this season.
Craftsman Truck Series teams will take on the 1.5-mile track on Friday while returning from an off-week. Xfinity Series teams will continue the season with a Saturday afternoon race. Cup Series teams will close out the weekend with a Sunday afternoon race.
Texas Motor Speedway previously hosted two points-paying Cup races each season, but this changed in 2021. The track hosted one points-paying race and the All-Star Race. The track continued this trend in 2022 before dropping to only one race in 2023 and beyond.
