Official Release

All three of NASCAR’s top touring series will be in action this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway as the Playoffs hit high gear in the next-to-last round. Here’s a look at where Ford drivers stand going into each event, in addition to some memorable Cup moments through the years.

Climbing behind the wheel for his first NCWTS start at Texas Motor Speedway, and his second of four races in 2018 with GMS Racing, Creed will utilize chassis no. 312 for Friday night’s race. The No. 2 team has used this particular chassis three times in 2018 with Cody Coughlin, including when the NCWTS raced at Texas earlier this season, finishing a chassis-best eighth.

Richard Childress Racing at Texas Motor Speedway ... In 105 starts at Texas Motor Speedway dating back to 1997, RCR has recorded one win (Jeff Burton, April 2007), eight top-five and 31 top-10 finishes with drivers Burton, Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Green, Paul Menard and Ryan Newman. Prior to Texas Motor Speedway's inaugural season in 1997, Richard Childress, a former driver in NASCAR's top division, earned a pair of top-10 finishes at the now defunct Texas World Speedway in College Station, Texas. RCR Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series teams boast an average starting position of 19.3, an average finishing position of 17.6 and have completed 33,937 of the 35,019 contested laps (96.9 percent) with 148 laps led at the 1.5-mile Fort Worth-based race track.

Ryan Reed will make his 10th NASCAR Xfinity Series start at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. In his nine previous starts at the 1.5-mile track, Reed has finished 23rd or above and has six top-15 finishes.

Texas Preview: With only three races remaining in the 2018 season, the Series returns to action at the 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway for its second event there this year. In his 25 starts at the Fort Worth track, Denny has led 232 laps and collected six top-five and 12 top-10 finishes. Denny looks to improve upon his 34th-place result from Texas in the spring after a mutli-car wreck in the race’s final Stage took him out of contention.

As Martin Truex Jr. continues his quest to be one of the drivers to qualify for the Championship 4 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the Furniture Row Racing driver is hoping he can avoid late-race incidents which have plagued him in four of the last five playoff races.
