Overview
- Carson Hocevar won the pole at Texas by 0.003 seconds over Daniel Suárez, giving Spire Motorsports its first Cup front-row sweep and making him the first since 2001 to earn his first two poles at the same track.
- The Würth 400, which starts Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET on FS1 with streaming on Fox platforms, HBO Max and Fubo, covers 267 laps for 400.5 miles in three stages.
- Betting markets list Denny Hamlin as the favorite at +500, with Tyler Reddick and Kyle Larson at +600 and Carson Hocevar at +1600, according to odds reported by CBS Sports and Yardbarker.
- Reddick leads the standings with five wins in 10 races, though a CBS Sports simulation projects he will not finish in the top five at Texas.
- Texas has produced at least 11 cautions in every Next Gen points race since 2022, and practice incidents such as Bubba Wallace's slide and damage signal a volatile afternoon.
