Talking in Circles: Texas Review, Kansas Preview

Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney...all those names were the favorites heading into Texas. Austin Dillon was not. However, it was a day to remember for the 30-year-old North Carolina native pulling off an upset victory for his 3rd career win. His teammate Tyler Reddick finished 2nd in RCR's first 1-2 finish since 2011. 

Ryan Blaney dominated the event, winning the first two stages. However, a late race caution caused by Quin Houff (we'll discuss that as well) put several leaders deep in the field, setting up the wild finish. 

We'll discuss the entire event & talk about who needs a solid run in the next couple of weeks to lock themselves in the playoffs. 

Austin Cindric won his third consecutive Xfinity race but he didn't cross the line first. Kyle Busch was disqualified for his car being too low, and Cindric was ruled the winner. We'll talk about that race as well. 

Although Busch didn't win the Xfinity race, the truck race was dominated by Busch, although teammate Christian Eckes showed his strength as well with a very good run. The trucks have two races this weekend, so we'll look back at Texas & talk about what we expect to see at Kansas. 

Plus - Iowa sold? & the random draw may be different in the playoffs? We'll talk about it all!
