Pit Pass Network Predictions: Playoff Texas

This weekend will be a playoff Texas two-step. Both the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series will head to the Lone Star state to take on Texas Motor Speedway. For the NASCAR Cup Series, this will be the opening race of the Round of 12. Meanwhile, this will be the second race in the Xfinity Series playoffs. Bristol jumbled up the standings for the Xfinity Series, which could see Texas either be a return to normalcy or more chaos with drivers trying to make up lost ground. Meanwhile, this playoff Texas race for the Cup Series could be the one calm race out of the Round of 12. With Texas being unpredictable, who did the Pit Pass Network crew select for their predictions this week?

Shout out to the following Pit Pass Network members who had correct predictions last week:

Craftsman Truck Series: Cash James & Casey Melvin
