Austin Dillon in the 33 for Joe Falk, an RCR ish car, and Kyle Larson is back in the 51 driving for Harry Scott. They are throwing those pre rookies in the mix.
 
$50 on Kyle Busch having his annual meltdown at Texas and rear ending Kenseth aggressively under caution!

I'll say it now.

Gordon has to win this one or he is out.

HAS TO win? Nah. He's been strong at 1.5 milers recently and has shown even more strength in the chase. If he doesn't win, which I'm not ruling out, he can still put up some good numbers and stay in all the way to Florida. At the point now where we are kinda relying on a Kenseth/Johnson slip up more than Gordon dominating these final 3.
 
I would personally buy someone a happy meal if they parked a tank in JJ's pit stall.
 
There has only being 1 back to back winner (Matt Kenseth) this year so far.

Can you believe that? That's wild.

Whoever said winning is easy in this sport must have been joking. ;)
 
One NASCAR Sprint Cup driver has won at TX Motor Speedway in two different manufacturers: Jeff Burton (1997 – Ford; 2007 – Chevrolet)
 
The worst finish by the eventual series champion at TX Motor Speedway is 38th, by Jimmie Johnson in 2009.
 
3 of the 25 (12%) NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races at TX Motor Speedway have been won from the Coors Light pole; including the last 2 events.
