The series now heads to Texas Motor Speedway following the Martinsville drama. A fast, high-banked 1.5 mile oval that typically offers it’s own brand of Texas-sized excitement. Jimmie Johnson won there earlier this season, and some fans still feel he’ll win at least once more this season despite being eliminated from Championship consideration. Joey Logano, Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski and perhaps Carl Edwards are facing must-win scenarios to resurrect their title hopes. It should be exciting!
