On Saturday, both Xfinity and Cup teams will be racing at Texas Motor Speedway. The Xfinity teams will start the day with an afternoon race, while the Cup teams will kick off their schedule with practice and qualifying sessions to set the lineup for Sunday’s race.
Among the drivers in the lineup, only Cole Custer has a previous win at Texas in the Xfinity series. He won the playoff race during the 2018 season. It’s interesting to note that of the last 21 Xfinity races at Texas, twenty have been won by a driver currently competing full-time in the Cup series.

Saturday also marks the second race of the Dash 4 Cash program, where Sam Mayer, Sheldon Creed, Allgaier, and Chandler Smith are competing for a $100,000 bonus.
