Circuit of the Americas opened in 2012 and hosted its first Cup Series race in 2021, with Chase Elliott taking the win at the inaugural event.

The 39 drivers entering this week’s Cup Series race will compete for over 68 laps. The Cup Series practice race will be held at the 3.426-mile (5.514 km) road course on March 24, followed by a qualifying race the following day.

The Cup Series weekend will start with Friday (March 24)’s practice session. This will be followed by a qualifying race for a single-lap, single-car run and conclude with the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix main race.

Circuit of the Americas will host the season’s sixth event of the NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series and second for the Truck Series in over three days.

Ross Chastain and Trackhouse Racing entered as the defending winners of the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix after securing a thrilling victory in last year's event. The #1 Chevrolet driver will look to win back-to-back titles on Sunday.
