The first road course race of the season, the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, will take place on Sunday at COTA in Austin, Texas, for the NASCAR Cup Series.
Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick are on the pole in the top row, which is exclusively for 23XI Racing.
Due to the increased number of road course races over the past five seasons, the Cup field has generally been stronger; Sunday’s event is the first of six road course races in 2025.
As full-time Cup drivers this season, Shane van Gisbergen and AJ Allmendinger contribute to the field strength.
On Sunday, SVG will begin on the sixth, and Allmendinger on the twelfth. Watch our live race updates, with the green flag scheduled for COTA after 2:30 p.m. CT.
Connor Zilisch is lagging behind because he has a flat tire.
He will enter pit road. The fender around Denny Hamlin’s wheel well is nearly entirely pulled off, and his right front is heavily damaged.
Ross Chastain spins as the green flag appears. Drive hard, dive deep into the corner, and then chase Elliott at the first turn. I’m not sure what Elliott should do there.
Alan Gustafson, the Elliott crew chief, informs his driver, “We’re going to send the one car when we get the chance to send him.”
Drivers are in their vehicles and engines have been cranked in Austin, Texas, under largely sunny skies. Today’s 95 laps on the 2.4-mile track configuration that has been altered.
In Saturday’s qualifying session, Tyler Reddick secured the pole position, while 23XI Racing’s Bubba Wallace swept the top row.
