Holster your weapons, take your bee-noc-yulars off the Mexican border for just a minute, and put some ribs on the grill, 'cause we Texas now!

Texas Motor Speedway. A 1.5 miler with 24 degree banking. But more importantly, home to Hawg Heavan's famous Bacon Cotton Candy.
I'll repeat that.
Bacon.
Cotton.
Candy.
Famous Texans

NATIONWIDE!
Back after a couple of weeks hiatus, It's pretty much a two-horse race. Austin Dillon leads Sam Hornish by 8 points.
Interestingly, RCR is throwing Ty Dillon into a car, presumably to help brother Austin win the championship, while Penske Racing is throwing Brad Keselowski into a car, also presumably to help Austin win the championship,
Look up practice and qualifying times yourself, but I will tell you that we are racing Saturday approx 3:49pmET.
And that Kyle Larson wins.
Hexes?
Business as usual.

Seriously, this could be a cracking race.
With Kenseth and Jimmie tied in the points, this could be a duel for the ages.

Speedway with five; followed by Matt Kenseth with four.
