After two intense races on the superspeedways of Daytona and Atlanta, the Cup Series will face its first road race of the season in Austin. This event lasts 95 laps and will be divided into three stages consisting of 20, 25 and 50 laps. Originally created for F1 racing, COTA is unlike any other NASCAR road course.
Riding momentum from back-to-back wins at the Daytona 500 and Autotrader 400, Tyler Reddick could be in contention for a victory three weekends in a row. Reddick is one of the best road racing drivers and won this particular event in 2023. Other drivers to watch out for are Shane Van Gisbergen, Christopher Bell, and William Byron.
