NASCAR is headed to Circuit of the Americas this weekend for its third race in the 2026 Cup Series, the DuraMax Texas Grand Prix.

Following two intense races at superspeedways in Daytona and Atlanta, the Cup Series will face its first road course race of the season in Austin. This event is 95 laps, and will be split into three stages consisting of 20, 25 and 50 laps. Originally created for F1 racing, COTA is unlike any other road course in NASCAR. 

Soaring with the momentum of back-to-back wins in the Daytona 500 and Autotrader 400, Tyler Reddick could be in the running for a win three weekends in a row. Reddick is a top performer in road racing and won this particular event in 2023. Other drivers to keep an eye on are Shane Van Gisbergen, Christopher Bell and William Byron.
