I blew it! For some reason I thought Trucks and X-Men would be racing today and Cup tomorrow. Well, Trucks raced last night and the final drivers who will go after the Truck championship crown next week are last nights winner Grant Enfinger, Brent Moffit, Sheldon Greed and rookie Zane Smith. Reading about race it sounds like it was a good race.
The final 4 X-Men and Cup drivers are on the line. In Cup, only Joey has clinched a spot with a win at Kansas and TWT's Texas win didn't help the playoff drivers and 7 drivers looking will be desperate to win or gain points to move above the cut line. Weather shouldn't play a part of the Cup race - Today is good and rain overnight should clear by late morning and track drying should be done by the 2 o'clock start time. No more Texas size rain delays!

News and Notes
- The most shocking thing over the last week was Truex having his spoiler confiscated during Texas pre-race inspection and getting docked 20 points. Those twenty points makes winning tomorrow almost a neccessity to advance from 53 points below the cut line, ahead of Busch1 sitting 98 points below the ax. Elliott and Bowman are both 41 below.
- Keso is on the pole and Truex will start 2nd.
- TV ratings - This should be fun! Sunday started with 1.82M viewers and 4 days later ended with 1.2M viewers. So over 600,000 fans tired of waiting or couldn't take more time off from work.
