With only two more opportunities to earn a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship round, drivers head to Texas Motor Speedway this weekend for the AAA Texas 500.
Jeff Gordon continued his marvelous farewell season last week at Martinsville when he became the first driver to secure one of the four Championship round spots. Now, the seven remaining competitors in the Eliminator round will look to join him.
Brad Keselowski will start from the pole position, although Joey Logano may be the one to watch. The 25-year-old has a win and four top-five finishes in his last five races at Texas, and he looked strong last week at Martinsville, leading the most laps before Matt Kenseth took him out.
The crucial race is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on NBC. If you can’t get to a TV, here’s how to watch online and on mobile:
