NASCAR Cup Series at Texas: Starting lineup, TV schedule for May 4 race
The NASCAR Cup Series is heading to Texas on May 4 for the second and final time this season, the first coming at Circuit of the Americas in Austin.
Carson Hocevar is on pole for the WURTH 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway, his first in the Cup Series.

William Byron is on the outside of the front row to start the race.
Chase Elliott won last year's stop at Texas Motor Speedway, marking his last win in the Cup Series.
Texas is always one of the difficult tracks to gauge with how the tires react and how the grooves work into the track as the race goes along.
The May 3 practice session appeared as if cars could run the low groove well, but passing will be a question during the race. If the May 3 NASCAR Xfinity Series race was any indication, there could be plenty of passing in the middle groove.
