The 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup season has moved on to Texas Motor Speedway for the Duck Commander 500 from Fort Worth, the seventh race of the NASCAR season.

There have been six different winners in the first six races of the season, including Kyle Busch, last week’s winner at Martinsville. Busch will start in 15th position on Saturday thanks to a qualifying speed of 192.644 mph on Friday.

Busch is seeking his second career win at Fort Worth, having also won the race in 2013. In six NASCAR races this season, Busch has two third-place and two fourth-place finishes to go along with his win, and ranks third overall in points heading into Sunday.

Fox begins its coverage on Saturday night at 7 p.m. ET with its pre-race show, including a feature this week on driver Austin Dillon, seeking his first NASCAR Sprint Cup win.

Race coverage begins at 7:30 p.m., with Mike Joy on play-by-play alongside analysts Darrell Waltrip and Jeff Gordon, plus rules specialist and technical analyst Larry McReynolds and reporters Jamie Little, Vince Welch and Matt Yocum contributing to the coverage.
