“The Chase adds intense pressure and helps you see who has the heart of the champion,\u201d Gossage said.\u00a0 \u201cOther times we find out who has a spaghetti backbone. Either way, it is fascinating to witness and now Texas Motor Speedway fans will get to see it happen in NASCAR’s top three series all in one weekend.”<\/p>\n

Texas Motor Speedway now will play host to three Chase events Nov. 4-6 during its AAA Texas 500 NASCAR tripleheader weekend.<\/p>\n

The Longhorn 350 on Friday, Nov. 4, will serve as the fifth race of the Chase format for the Camping World Truck Series and be part of the three-race Round of 6 that will help determine which four drivers will vie for the championship in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge on Saturday, Nov. 5, will serve in a similar role for the XFINITY Series. The race also will be the fifth race in the Chase format, but will be part of the Round of 8 that will help determine the four that will vie for the title at Homestead.<\/p>\n

The NASCAR tripleheader weekend at Texas Motor Speedway culminates Sunday, Nov. 6, with the AAA Texas 500, the middle event of the three-race Eliminator 8 Round that determines the four drivers competing for the Sprint Cup title at Homestead.<\/p>\n
