After a long rain delay, NASCAR got the second race of the Round of 8 in at Texas. Check out a few winners and losers from the AAA Texas 500.

Despite a six-hour rain delay, NASCAR got the race in at Texas Motor Speedway. After trouble at Martinsville, drivers like Carl Edwards, Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick were all looking for great runs.

Busch, had another rough run this weekend as he struggled to stay in the top-15 and eventually ended the race in 20th, meaning he’ll need a win at Phoenix to move on. Harvick, who still hasn’t won a race at Texas, put together a solid race but ended up 6th, meaning he’ll also likely need a win to move on.

Edwards was a contender throughout the night as he was in the top-5 for the majority of the race. He snuck into the lead late and was able to capture his fourth win at Texas and clinch his spot alongside Jimmie Johnson in the Championship 4.

Other notable finishes came in the form of Joey Logano’s second-place finish and Kyle Busch’s fifth-place finish, which has both drivers above the cut line. Non-Chasers Martin Truex Jr., Chase Elliott, Kasey Kahne and Ryan Newman all earned top-10’s.

Let’s take a look at a few winners and losers from this weekend’s race.
