The NASCAR Cup Series heads to the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas, on Sunday for the DuraMax Texas Grand Prix, marking the first time this season the drivers will race on a road course. Fans eager to catch the NASCAR Cup Series livestream can tune in to see top competitors face the challenging COTA layout starting at 3:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
Tyler Reddick’s Strong Start to the Season Sets High Expectations
The season has already delivered intense action, with Tyler Reddick claiming victories at both the Daytona 500 and the recent race at EchoPark Speedway in Atlanta. Reddick, driving for 23XI Racing, capitalized on late-race restarts and timely cautions to secure his second win, becoming the first driver since Matt Kenseth 17 years ago to win the opening two races of a season.
EchoPark Speedway has quickly gained a reputation for unpredictable moments that allow skilled drivers like Reddick to recover and climb back in the ranks after setbacks, adding excitement to the championship battle.
Road Course Challenges Await as Drivers Compete at COTA
Now, the focus shifts to the tricky road course in Texas where drivers must expertly navigate right turns and complex corners. Aside from Reddick, four other Cup Series drivers—Christopher Bell, William Byron, Ross Chastain, and Chase Elliott—have previously won at COTA since NASCAR began racing there in 2021. All are aiming to become the first driver to win multiple races at this venue.
