Fort Worth is about to get loud. Texas Motor Speedway is rolling out a three-day NASCAR tripleheader today until next Sunday that stacks the Craftsman Truck Series, the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and the NASCAR Cup Series into one packed weekend. It all builds to Sunday’s WÜRTH 400, a marquee Cup race on the 1.5-mile oval that doubles as a centerpiece of the track’s 30th-anniversary season.
On-track action starts Friday with the SpeedyCash.com 250 for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, continues tomorrow with the Andy’s Frozen Custard 340 for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and then caps off Sunday with the WÜRTH 400 for the Cup Series. NASCAR’s weekend page lists the Truck race at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, with both the support race and the Cup race airing in primetime windows on FS1 and The CW. Fans can grab a quick preview from local coverage by FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth and check the full weekend rundown at NASCAR.
Stars And On-Track Extras
Texas Motor Speedway is leaning into the show as much as the races. Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has been tapped as the honorary pace-car driver, and Slayer frontman Tom Araya will handle grand marshal duties next Sunday. The speedway has also rolled out a schedule loaded with driver appearances, fan-stage sessions, and pre-race concerts, giving fans plenty to do between laps, according to Texas Motor Speedway.
Food, Fan Zones And Local Flavor
If you go for the food as much as the racing, the track has you covered. Levy Restaurants is rolling out a specialty menu that includes a peanut butter-jam burger, glazed donuts on Texas toast, and pecan-pie-filled churros, Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. The Fan Zone and vendor lineup will run throughout the weekend with interactive activations and sponsor displays meant to keep crowds busy even when the cars are not on track.
Tickets, Gates And Getting There
Traffic is part of the deal, so fans are being urged to plan for crowds and slow exits. The speedway’s published schedule shows fan parking and gates opening early each day, with lots open as early as 1 p.m. today and 8:30 a.m. next Sunday. The track is also pushing a kids ticket deal, with free admission today, tomorrow, and $10 tickets next Sunday. For the fine print, check the official ticket and parking pages, since the speedway posts maps, gate times, and express-parking options on its site, per Texas Motor Speedway.
