The Cup Series had a normal schedule this week at Texas Motor Speedway. The teams had a 20-minute practice session before they lined up the cars for group qualifying. There have been two races at Texas using the Gen-7 car. There has been an average of 13 cautions per race, so the teams are going to need cars that are fast on the short-run and long-run Sunday. It is smart to combine the driver’s single lap speed with his 10-lap average speed to predict which cars are the fastest for Sunday’s race.
