NASCAR Cup Series will make the antepenultimate race of 2020 at the Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday, a 1.5-mile track that has been on the calendar since 1997. The race is part of the semi-finals of the championship, and the winner can be guaranteed in Phoenix on November 8. Joey Logano is already qualified, after winning in Kansas last week.
Looking at the current situation of the top names, Motorsport.com selected some tips for the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 in Texas:
In addition to a great moment in his career, with nine wins so far in 2020, Kevin Harvick comes from three wins in Texas in the last three years, always in the race that is part of the playoffs. With that in mind, the bet on the 2014 champion's victory is always a strong one. To win: Kevin Harvick
If Kevin Harvick's choice of victory is a good one, obviously choosing Ford as the manufacturer winner is even more solid. In addition to Harvick, Brad Keselowski joins forces for the manufacturer of the blue oval symbol. Manufacturer to win: Ford
One of the big surprises of 2020 happened in Texas, in July. Austin Dillon won the first race of the year in Fort Worth. A new triumph is almost impossible, but you can have faith that Richard Childress's grandson will be well placed. Finishing in the Top-10: Austin Dillon
Another favorite to win is Denny Hamlin, who won seven races in 2020, twice in 1.5 mile ovals, and three times in Texas in his entire Cup Series career. His momentum just isn't any better on this track than Kevin Harvick, so you can bet he'll be among the first cars to see the checkered flag. Finishing in the Top-5: Denny Hamlin
