Echopark Texas Grand Prix|Sunday May 23rd

It’s race day on Sunday for the boys & girls of NASCAR!!

• Date: Sunday, May 23, 2021
• TV-Time: FS1, 2:00 p.m. ET
• Venue: Circuit of the Americas
• Location: Austin, Texas
• Distance: 231 miles, 68 laps

This should be a dandy as Nascar takes to the Circuit of the Americas for the very first time over a course with 20 turns usually something we are accustomed to seeing with both Indy car racing and Formula 1 racing.

Today marks the 14th race of the NASCAR Cup Series and with rain in the forecast today 80% this will be a wide open race where anyone can take the checkered flag.

When you talk road course you can’t help not to mention Chase Elliott who is (+240) to win today’s race. On road courses the No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports driver also leads all drivers with six stage wins on road courses. Elliott posted the fifth-fastest time in Saturday’s practice session, but fact of the matter he still remains without a win this season.

Martin Truex Jr., is another driver this course layout should appeal too as he has four career road-course victories to his name and is currently listed at (+450) to win today.
