The drivers of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be trying all they can to wrestle a victory away from the top 2018 team at Texas, and we tell you how to watch live, on TV or online.
Can anything stop the Stewart-Haas Racing juggernaut? That’s the number one question heading into the O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.
The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series garage has had an extra week off to try to figure out how to slow down SHR, or rather to try to get faster to keep up with them. Clint Bowyer’s win at Martinsville means his team has won four of this season’s first six races.
Making things worse for anyone not driving for Stewart-Haas, three of its cars will start the O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 in the top three spots. Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick and Bowyer will start in the top three positions, meaning everyone else will literally be chasing them right from the start.
Could Jimmie Johnson be the person to stop the onslaught and get Chevrolet in the non-Daytona win column? Even though the seven-time Cup Series champ is off to an uncharacteristically slow start, he had the fastest Chevy in Friday’s weather-shortened qualifying session and has won this race two of the previous three seasons.
