Event: Würth 400
Date/Time: Sunday, May 3, 2026, 3:30 p.m. ET
Location: Texas Motor Speedway, Fort Worth, Texas
Layout: 1.5-Mile Oval
TV/Radio: FS1, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio

As the Würth 400 takes center stage at Texas Motor Speedway, Josh Berry’s No. 21 Ford Mustang Dark Horse will carry the same Würth look on track, with the Würth Group – a global leader in assembly and fastening materials – featured across both the race and the car.

Texas Motor Speedway, a 1.5-mile oval near Fort Worth, is one of several intermediate tracks on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule, but its layout presents a unique challenge with two distinctly different ends of the track.

“Texas itself is definitely very unique,” Berry said. “Both ends of the track are so much different.

“[Turns] One and Two is a good bit less banking and kind of a more disciplined-based corner in a way. It’s easy to get high, easy to get out of line.

“Then Three and Four is just hammer down, but obviously you have that bump to navigate through off of Four, so it’s definitely a very interesting place.

“It’s a unique mile-and-a-half for sure.”

Berry will make his third NASCAR Cup Series start at Texas this weekend as the Wood Brothers Racing team looks to bounce back after getting caught in an accident at Talladega Superspeedway.

Practice for the Würth 400 is set for Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET, followed by qualifying at 1:40 p.m. ET, with coverage on Prime Video.

Sunday’s 267-lap, 400.5-mile race is scheduled to take the green flag just after 3:30 p.m. ET with television coverage on FS1. Stage 1 is set to end at Lap 80, with Stage 2 concluding at Lap 165.

Saturday, May 2

Berry will sign autographs at the Team Penske/Wood Brothers merchandise hauler beginning at 2:10 p.m. local time in the Texas Motor Speedway fan zone. 100 wristbands will be distributed on a first come, first-served basis.

Winner, Winner… Dillon won the Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway in July 2020, the third of his six career victories in the series. The Texas win was part of a 1-2 finish for RCR, with former teammate Tyler Reddick finishing second. The victory earned Dillon an automatic berth to the Cup Series Playoffs and marked RCR’s first 1-2 finish in the premier series since 2011.

Did You Know? Dillon’s 2016 pole award at Texas Motor Speedway remains RCR’s lone Cup Series pole in 126 Series starts at the Fort Worth track. In total, Dillon owns six poles in Cup Series competition, most recently sitting on the pole in 2019 at Chicagoland Speedway.

Last Week… After qualifying was rained out, Dillon began last Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway from the 18th position. From the very beginning of the race, the No. 3 team showed speed by running up front and leading laps during Stage 1. When the “Big One” occurred during Stage 2, the six-time Cup Series winner avoided the chaos in front of him and escaped with minimal damage. During the race’s final stage, Dillon ran in the top-10, steadily working his way forward and was in position for a top-five finish before a crash on the final lap involving the veteran driver resulted in a 19th-place finish.

Double Duty… In addition to his driving duties in Sunday’s Cup Series race, Dillon will pilot the No. 3 Boot Barn Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet in Saturday’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race.

AUSTIN DILLON QUOTES:

What are your thoughts on Texas Motor Speedway? 

“The place is fast and it’s big. You’ve got to go out there and commit to Turns 3 and 4. It’s one of the fastest tracks we go to all year long. I have confidence going there for sure. We’ve just got to go out there, qualify well, execute, and make it happen when it counts.”

What’s one moment at Texas Motor Speedway that sticks out to you? 

“There are a lot of memorable moments at Texas Motor Speedway, but one that really sticks out is winning against my teammate, Tyler Reddick, there a couple years back in the NASCAR Cup Series. We were battling out those restarts at the end. We weren’t a great car that day. We were probably a 10th-12th place car, and both of us decided to take two tires to get up front and tack control of the race. And then, with clean air our cars took off. My confidence was high. We just kept having restarts and were able to make it happen.”

What do you enjoy most about being in Texas? 

“I love Texas. I grew up hunting down there as a kid. I have a lot of memories deer hunting with my grandfather, so I fell in love with the state early on. I’ve had some success at Texas Motor Speedway. Texas is a cool place. I feel more like a cowboy when I’m there. Some of our bull riders on the PBR Teams Series are based in the Fort Worth area, so I get to visit them and do a little racing also.”

Kyle Busch and the No. 8 zone Watermelon x Circle K Chevrolet at Texas Motor Speedway… Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway will mark Kyle Busch’s 36th career Cup Series start at the track. Busch has four wins at the mile-and-a-half oval (the spring races in 2013, 2016 and 2018, as well as the fall race in 2020). Additionally at Texas, Busch has 14 top-five and 19 top-10 finishes, 1,069 laps led, an average starting position of 14.4, an average finishing position of 12.5, and has completed 94.9 percent (10,921 of 11,488) of the laps he’s contested there.

Birthday Wishes… This Saturday, May 2, Busch celebrates his 41st birthday. The two-time Cup Series champion, alongside NASCAR Hall of Famers Cale Yarborough and Matt Kenseth, are the only three drivers in NASCAR history to win a Cup Series race on their birthday. The soon-to-be 41-year-old accomplished the feat twice by winning at Richmond Raceway in 2009 and at Kansas Speedway in 2021. Busch and Yarborough are the only two drivers to win twice on their birthday.

Texas Four Step… Busch is the winningest active driver at Texas Motor Speedway. He earned his first Cup Series victory at the Lone Star State track in April 2013. He took the lead after a lightning-fast pit stop during the final caution, leading the final 19 laps en route to his first Cup Series victory at the 1.5-mile speedway. In April 2016, Busch went on the outside of Turn 4 during the final restart to take the lead. He remained out front for the final 32 laps to capture the win, doing so by nearly four seconds over second-place finisher Dale Earnhardt Jr. Busch earned his third victory at Texas Motor Speedway and the 44th of his Cup Series career in April 2018 after leading four different times for a race-high 116 laps. His most recent Texas Motor Speedway win was in October 2020, when Busch led five times for 90 of the 334 laps to claim his fourth victory at the track.

Top of the Box… RCR announced a leadership adjustment within its Cup Series program this week, reinforcing the organization’s continued focus on improving on-track performance and delivering stronger, more consistent results. Andy Street will assume crew chief responsibilities for the No. 8 Chevrolet, working alongside Busch for the remainder of the 2026 season. Jim Pohlman will transition into a leadership role within RCR’s competition department.

Street and Busch previously worked together during the final five races of 2025, highlighted by an eighth-place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and a fifth-place result at Phoenix Raceway in the season finale.

Last Week… After qualifying was rained out, Busch began last Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway from the 34th position. During Stage 1, the 63-time Cup Series winner moved his way to the front of the field and ran up-front for the majority of the first stage. Early in Stage 2, the Las Vegas native was one of 26 cars involved in the “Big One.” Despite getting caught up in the wreckage, the No. 8 team was able to repair the damage to the front end, battling back from a lap down to be out front in the final laps of the race. After avoiding a last lap crash, Busch finished 10th, the team’s first top-10 of the season.

Double Duty… In addition to his driving duties in Sunday’s Cup Series race, Busch will pilot the No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado for Spire Motorsports in Friday’s Truck Series race.

KYLE BUSCH QUOTES:

How do you balance each corner being so different at Texas Motor Speedway?

“Texas Motor Speedway is a tough place. Turns 1 and 2 being really wide, and kind of flat, and then Turns 3 and 4 being a little bit narrower, but also being really, really fast with a lot of banking. You’ve got to setup for Turns 1 and 2 and you’ve got to setup for the end of the racetrack where you’re off the throttle the most, and then just take what you can get at the other end. It’s a little bit of a compromise at that place, but it’s fun to race there. You’ve got to really work on your runs through Turns 3 and 4 and down the front straightway to make those moves getting into Turn 1.”

Turns 1 and 2 are very different from Turns 3 and 4. How do you approach that racetrack from a setup perspective with two very different turns?

“At Texas Motor Speedway you have to sort of focus on Turns 1 and 2 because that’s the end of the racetrack where you’re out of the throttle, and you want to be out of the throttle the least amount possible, and then you just take whatever the car gives you in Turns 3 and 4. That’s how we focused our setups the last couple of years. Last year I felt like we were really good. We had a great car. We made some air pressure adjustments to it during the race, we got faster and we were up towards the front. I thought I had a shot to go race for the win, and I was like ‘this is my moment, Larson is slow, he’s vulnerable, I better go get him.’ I tried too hard in the middle of Turns 3 and 4, hit the bump and spun myself out. So, it’s hard to get it all right there all day long.”

What’s the toughest part about driving at Texas Motor Speedway?

“The last couple of years, the bump in Turns 3 and 4 have certainly been the tricky part for us. We had some really good speed there last year. We were running in third place chasing down the leaders, trying to make some moves to win the race. I pushed pretty hard after a restart and the car bottomed out, spun out on me and we ended up backed in the fence. That’s the unfortunate part about Texas Motor Speedway, just how on edge you are and how tricky it is to just make sure you keep the grip in your racecar. Some of those bumps have gotten worse over time, which is fine. It’s character. It’s good to have some of that. You just got to be able to know how to attack, when to attack and how hard to attack. I misjudged that last year and put ourselves in a bad spot of spinning out. That’s something we’ll focus on this time around.”

What’s the vibe when you come down to Texas for a race?

“The party scene at Texas is like no other. It always has great camping, great nightlife—you can always hear everybody playing their music and having a good time, enjoying the camaraderie of the area and what that brings. We’ve been fortunate enough the last few years to have good weather. I’m hoping for that again.”

Jesse Love and the No. 2 Samsara Chevrolet at Texas Motor Speedway… Jesse Love has made two career NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series starts at Texas Motor Speedway. In both starts, Love has started and finished inside the top-10 (ninth in 2024 and seventh in 2025).

Cup Experience at Texas… Last season, Love piloted the No. for 62 Beard Motorsports at Texas Motor Speedway, marking his second of five Cup Series starts in 2025. The Menlo Park, California native qualified 35th and gained valuable experience during the 400-mile event, ending with a 31st-place finish.

Last Week… Starting from the pole during last Saturday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway, Love was a consistent force out front, leading a race-high 37 laps. The young gun was in contention for the win during the closing moments of the race, leading the field before getting passed with three laps to go, ultimately finishing seventh.

Did You Know? Love’s pole last weekend at Talladega Superspeedway was the tenth of his career in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. Love joins Kevin Harvick and Austin Dillon in an exclusive club of drivers who have earned 10 or more poles in the Series under the RCR banner.

Consistency Continues… Love’s average finish of 9.0 is fourth-best among full time drivers in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.

Still Streaking… Love currently holds the longest active streak of running at the finish of races, with 24 straight events without a DNF.

Get to the Points… Love remains third in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series driver championship point standings, 141 points behind points leader Justin Allgaier and 36 points behind second-place Sheldon Creed.

JESSE LOVE QUOTE:

What are your thoughts entering Texas Motor Speedway, a track where you’ve shown speed in the past?

“Texas Motor Speedway should be good. It’s a place that I’ve sat on the pole at two years ago. I’ve been really loose there before, and really tight, so I feel like we know kind of where our balance needs to be coming back this weekend, and I think we’re going to be pretty good. I’m looking forward to it. I’m ready to get our first win of the year.”

Austin Dillon and the No. 3 Boot Barn Chevrolet at Texas Motor Speedway… This weekend will mark Dillon’s first NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series start at Texas Motor Speedway since 2017.

AUSTIN DILLON QUOTES:

How are you feeling about running Saturday’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race?

“I’m excited to get to Texas Motor Speedway and run the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series car on Saturday. It’s a welcome return to the Series, since I haven’t done it in a long time, and it should help us a little bit more on the Cup Series side as well to be able to see the track early on, prior to Sunday’s race.”

When you go to Texas Motor Speedway, what are you focused on?

“You’ve got to go out there and really commit to Turns 3 and 4. It’s one of the fastest tracks we go to all year, and I think having confidence in Turns 3 and 4 is key, for sure.”

Austin Hill and the No. 21 DWC Chevrolet at Texas Motor Speedway… Austin Hill has made seven career NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series starts at Texas Motor Speedway, posting three top-five and five top-10 efforts (best finish of second in fall 2022).

Top-10 Streaking in Fort Worth… In Hill’s last five O’Reilly Auto Parts Series races at Texas Motor Speedway, the veteran racer has secured five top-10 results and never finished worse than seventh-place.

AUSTIN HILL QUOTE:

With Texas Motor Speedway having two different ends of the track, describe the racing action and what a driver needs out of the car to compete for the win.

“Texas Motor Speedway is a very unique racetrack. It’s a different mile and a half than most of the intermediate tracks we go to. Turns 1 and 2 are really flat and wide, which leads to a lot of space where errors can be made, especially when you are inside of another car. If someone gets tight on your door, it’s a very easy spot for you to loop it around and back into the fence. Then on the other end of the track in Turns 3 and 4, you give it all you have. If you can hold it wide open in Turns 3 and 4, you probably have a fast race car. You need a car that handles well in Turns 1 and 2 and then hang it out as much as you can in Turns 3 and 4. Personally I have always enjoyed racing at Texas, and I feel like it’s a place that our DWC team can be successful at.”

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (April 30, 2026) – RCA, the quintessential American consumer electronics brand, will return to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2026 by partnering with Michael McDowell and Spire Motorsports for three races beginning at Dover Motor Speedway when the famed one-mile oval hosts NASCAR’s All-Star Race for the first time in the venue’s storied, 50-plus year history.

RCA has its own celebrated, winning history in the NASCAR Cup Series and previously sponsored Cale Yarborough Motorsports. Drivers Jeremy Mayfield and John Andretti both spent time in an RCA-sponsored entry throughout the mid-90’s, with Andretti taking the company to Victory Lane in the 1997 Pepsi 400 after fighting off Terry Labonte and Dale Earnhardt to collect the checkered flag.

The iconic consumer electronics brand will join the defending All-Star Pit Crew Challenge Champions, who look to collect back-to-back $100,000 checks to go along with pit-road bragging rights during NASCAR’s annual all-star festivities. In addition to its position aboard McDowell’s No. 71 Chevy Camaro, RCA will be showcased throughout the Spire Motorsports garage, including branded headsets across the team’s No. 71 effort.

Following the May 15-17 all-star weekend, RCA will return to McDowell’s No. 71 Chevy Sept. 19 at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway and Oct. 5 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.

“We are incredibly excited to return RCA to the world of motorsports, a space that aligns so naturally with our legacy of performance and innovation,” said Tony Bozzini, President of RCA. “Spire Motorsports is the ideal partner for this next chapter, bringing a forward-thinking approach and competitive spirit that mirrors our own. Together, we see an opportunity to reconnect with passionate fans while elevating the RCA brand on a national stage. This partnership marks the beginning of an exciting journey, and we look forward to building something truly impactful with the Spire team.”

Founded in 1919, RCA has a rich history using the power of technology to bring people together while symbolizing American ingenuity worldwide. Built on more than a century of engineering innovation, RCA is the standard-bearer in performance, precision and trustworthiness, affording Spire Motorsports a wealth of resources as the team continues to raise its competitive bar on a weekly basis.

Ten races into the 2026 campaign, McDowell sits just outside the top 20 in points on the strength of one top-five and two top-10 finishes, including a season-best fifth-place finish in the Cup Series’ March 1 visit to Circuit of the Americas.

“Our Spire Motorsports team has been working so hard these last few months to bring in new partners, and RCA is a great fit,” said McDowell. “Our sport relies on communication, and the RCA brand has a deep history of keeping people connected. I am excited to wear the RCA colors and represent the brand and its values on and off the track. I’m especially looking forward to Talladega (Superspeedway) later this fall. We started on the pole last October and led a lot of laps. We expect to bring that same speed this year with the RCA colors on our No. 71 Chevrolet.”

The NASCAR All-Star Race from Dover Motor Speedway will be televised live on FS1 Sunday, May 17, beginning at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The $1 million-to-win, all-star spectacular will be broadcast live on Motor Racing Network, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90 and HBO Max.
