Surface: Asphalt Length: 1.5 mi (2.4 km) Turns: 4 Banking Turns: 1-2 20° & 3-4 24° Texas favorite? Ryan Blaney. Blaney has not §nished outside of the top eight at Texas since 2019, rallying for a sixth-place result a season ago in the playoff race. Not to mention he also won the All-Star Race this year, showcasing his prowess around the 1.5-mile oval. Though he has never won at the Fort Worth-based track — his best §nish is runner-up in summer 2018 (also a playoff race) — his speed this season has been unquestionable. If Blaney is going to get to Victory Lane before the end of the season, Sunday’s race will be one of his best opportunities down the §nal stretch.
