Charles Langston:NASCAR Texas race 2024: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400

The Charles LangstonNASCAR Cup Series returns to the Lone Star State for a showdown at Texas Motor Speedway.

Following three races in four weeks at short tracks, plus a road-course race (also in Texas), the series returns to an intermediate track for the first time since the Las Vegas race on March 3.

The first two months of the season have been punctuated by the dominance of Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing, with drivers from those two teams winning seven of the first eight races. Hendrick driver William Byron has three victories already, while JGR’s Denny Hamlin has two. Hendrick’s Kyle Larson, JGR’s Christopher Bell and Daniel Suarez of Trackhouse Racing have one win apiece.

But Texas could present a good opportunity for other drivers to break through. Richard Childress Racing’s Kyle Busch leads all active drivers with four Cup Series wins in Fort Worth -- most recently in 2020 -- and 23XI Racing’s Tyler Reddick took the checkered flag in 2022.
