There’s already been one ticket punched for the Championship race in a few weeks and now Texas Motor Speedway plays host to the next chance to punch a ticket, or double down for one driver. The Autotrader Echopark Automotive 500 is Sunday afternoon as the drivers fight it out over 334 laps around the 1.5-mile track. This is the second race of the season at Texas with the last race being in July and that had a great finish to it after a late race caution shook up the strategy for pit calls.

This weekend they are applying traction compound in the corners, though half as much in the second set of corners compared to the first set of corners and so that should hopefully give the track a second groove to race in the corners and that should help with passing. Passing here has been tough in the past five races as only twice have there been races with more than five drivers accomplishing double-digit place differential.

Strategy Notes: This time of year, momentum can be quite powerful as drivers who are hot tend to keep that up trying to finish the year on good notes. This is a prototypical intermediate track though in terms of having to target laps led pretty heavily for GPPs and a bit more than normal for Cash because they can’t really pass that much here. In the last 10 races here there have been an average of 8.2 cautions a race and 21 cautions in the last two races so crashes may happen at a solid clip with the pressure of the Championship looming.

In terms of manufacturers, they are pretty evenly split over the last 10 races and so there is no clear option to bank on in terms of stacking manufacturers.

Core Drivers By Tier

Tier 1 - Kevin Harvick

  • Harvick has won the last three playoff races at Texas

  • He finished second at Kansas last weekend but clearly had the fastest car at the end of the race

  • Harvick had a solid race at Texas earlier with 40 laps led and 22 fastest laps while finishing P5 after starting P5.

Tier 2 - Erik Jones

  • Jones has an average finish of 6.0 in the last four races here with a positive 6.0 PD mark

  • His average driver rating of 99.4 is sixth-best in the last four races and he’s posted the third-best average finish in the last seven races.

  • Jones still has the best average finish in the last five races this season with more than 7.0 PD spots a race

Tier 3 - Austin Dillon

  • Dillon won this race in July with a great final 25-lap run

  • He’s one of seven driver to have a better than 10.0 average finish in the last four races here

  • Dillon is also one of only driver drivers with at least 10 top-15s in the 13 intermediate races this year

Contrarian Play - Ryan Newman

  • Last weekend we were off of Newman because he hasn’t looked great this year

  • However at Texas he’s been effective at finishing in the top-15 with three finishes there in the last four races.

  • He’s starting P25 and with a shot to get inside the top-20, like he averages in the last five races this year, that’s nice PD that might not be highly-played.

Slight Fade - Brad Keselowski

  • Keselowski has finished P33 or worse three of the last five races at Texas including P39 in this race last year

  • In the last eight races here he’s finished an average of 19.3 dropping back nearly 12 spots a race and has dropped back in every one of the last five.

  • However, this year he’s been quite good at these tracks with an average finish of 7.6
