2018 AAA Texas 500 Race Picks

The Monster Energy Cup Series will take center stage today at Texas Motor Speedway with the running of the AAA Texas 500. With just 3 weeks remaining in the season, each race carries huge playoff/championship implications. Last week, we saw the result of those championship implications when Joey Logano moved Martin Truex on the final lap to win at Martinsville. While we do not typically see a lot of close racing at the 1.5 mile tracks, I have a feeling that today’s race at Texas will be the exception. Track position will be extremely important because passing has proved to be difficult on this repaved surface throughout recent races. Therefore we have a recipe for frustration and tempers flaring. We take this time to breakdown our best handicapping predictions as we provide our 2018 AAA Texas 500 race picks!
