Last week we saw Hendrick Motorsports get a historic 1-2-3 finish at Martinsville, which helped overshadow an otherwise pretty boring race. This week we head to a track that’s also been known for being boring and has been good for Hendrick as they have won 2 of the last 3 races here, Texas. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Texas Motor Speedway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position in the Next Gen era. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
In this post you will only find active and Next Gen stats, if you are looking for all-time stats check out my previous article All-Time Cup Track Stats: Texas.
