My pick to win this race is Kyle Busch. Texas has been one of his best tracks recently, and he needs a win to guarantee himself a spot in the championship 4.

Havoline is back! That's a good-looking car.

I thought Havoline was out of business? That's nice to see them back though.

The #96 team (unchartered) has now passed the #51 team (chartered) in the standings. The 96 has 177 points in 21 starts (8.4 points per race); the 51 has 176 points in 33 starts (5.3 points per race). It's doubtful that the 96 could climb to 35th, though, as it is currently 45 points behind the #23 of Front Row Motorsports (6.7 points per race.)

I thought this would be interesting to do, though. Since the 36 chartered teams are the only full-time teams, I calculated the points per attempt (PPA) for each non-chartered team, and then determined their 33-race total and where they would rank if they were full-time and continued with the same production:
Beard Motorsports #62: 18.5 PPA, 22nd Phoenix Air Racing #66: 15.0 PPA, 25th RBR Enterprises #92: 12.3 PPA, 31st Richard Childress Racing #8: 10.0 PPA, 32nd Gaunt Brothers Racing #96: 8.4 PPA, 33rd Premium Motorsports #7: 5.8 PPA, 36th StarCom Racing #99: 4.9 PPA, 37th Rick Ware Racing #52: 2.7 PPA, 37th MBM Motorsports #66: 2.5 PPA, 37th NY Racing #7: 1.0 PPA, 37th Obaika Racing #97: 0.0 PPA, 37th
