He took the checkered flag in Las Vegas, led 603 laps and sits second in the standings. At Talladega, he led 28 laps but finished 15th. At last year’s Würth 400, Hamlin completed just 73 laps before his car lost power and caught fire, ending his day. What to watch: Carson Hocevar has been in the news since scoring his first-ever Cup Series victory last week at Talladega. He is now fourth on the odds board to win at Texas after winning the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race on Friday night and then securing the pole on Saturday. After climbing to eighth place in Bob Pockrass’ latest power rankings, FOX Sports Motorsports Insider noted that Hocevar “probably feels like he’s on top of the world.” While Hocevar finished this race 24th last year, he earned the pole at Texas Motor Speedway in 2025 with a lap time of 191.659 mph.
