After a thrilling weekend at Talladega, the NASCAR Cup Series is headed back to Texas for the Würth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway.
The 11th points race of the 2026 season will bring drivers to a track that is extremely unforgiving. Texas Motor Speedway is uniquely difficult due to its split-personality design that leaves a huge difference between turns 1-2 and turns 3-4. There were 12 cautions in last year’s race alone, and six flew in the final third.
Last week’s Jack Link’s 500 saw 23-year-old Carson Hocevar earn his first career Cup Series win, leading 19 of the final 37 laps at Talladega. Tyler Reddick still leads the Cup Series standings, though, with five wins under his belt this season.
Who will prevail in Fort Worth?
Here’s everything you need to know about the Würth 400, including TV channel and streaming options for the NASCAR Cup Series race.
