Overview
- Carson Hocevar edged teammate Daniel Suarez by 0.003 seconds on Saturday to take the Texas Cup pole in Spire Motorsports’ first-ever front-row sweep.
- Hocevar also won Friday’s Truck Series race in overtime after a late multi-truck crash and red flag set up the final restart.
- Kyle Busch finished second in the Truck race to complete a Spire 1-2, extending the team’s strong weekend across two national series.
- Cup qualifying used single-car, single-lap runs, and Hocevar went out last as the most recent winner, a slot that can offer quicker track conditions and a cleaner groove.
- Bubba Wallace will start at the back in a backup car after a practice crash, and Austin Dillon will also line up at the rear following an engine change.
