Conventional wisdom had the Roush Fenway Racing cars coming to Texas Motor Speedway with plenty of speed – as the team often has at 1.5-mile tracks this season.
NASCAR Texas Motor Speedway Starting Lineup: Roush Fenway Racing Cars Lead Qualifying
It appears the conventional wisdom was correct.
Roush cars took the top three spots for Sunday’s AAA Texas 500, with Greg Biffle winning the pole ahead of David Ragan and Matt Kenseth.
Paul Menard was fourth and Tony Stewart will start fifth – ahead of his championship rival Carl Edwards, a Roush car who will start seventh.
Sandwiched in between Stewart and Edwards was David Reutimann, who just learned this week that he will not be welcomed back at Michael Waltrip Racing next season.
Brad Keselowski, Kasey Kahne and Regan Smith rounded out the top 10.
