O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 – Race Advance
After an off-weekend, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series returns to action this Sunday in Fort Worth, Texas. Since being repaved after the 2016 season, the 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway has changed quite a bit. After the repave, the track's grip and overall speed increased, but the racing groove narrowed to just about a single line, making passing difficult for the competitors. With speeds just over 200mph and a narrow racing groove, the racing at Texas Motor Speedway can be both fast and challenging.
