NASCAR Cup Series at Texas Motor Speedway
Stock car races in the NASCAR Cup Series have been held at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas since 1997. The race's trophy is in the shape of a cowboy hat on top of a piston. Traditionally, the winning driver wears a black cowboy hat and fires a couple of six-shooters in the air on victory lane.
The 400-mile (640 km) event, currently known as Würth 400 for sponsorship reasons, has been held sometime in October or November each year, except for 2024 when it was held in April, where the track's original spring race (held from 1997 to 2020) was traditionally held.
Joey Logano is the defending winner of the event, having won it in 2025.
The track's current race was acquired as a result of the Ferko lawsuit, which forced NASCAR to relinquish the sport's fourth major, the Mountain Dew Southern 500 (which only returned in 2020) and in the process end its Grand Slam, as the Southern 500 was one of the four races that made it up. Following the change, the race was initially derisively referred to as the "Francis Ferko 500", mostly by traditionalist fans upset by the demise of the Southern 500.
The track scaled down to just one race starting from the 2021 season, dropping the former spring race in favor of hosting the NASCAR All-Star Race and the addition of Circuit of the Americas in Austin to the schedule. In 2024, the race was moved to the former spring slot.
The track's original race, held in spring, was held from 1997 to 2020. The first two runnings of the race were controversial, crash-strewn affairs, with universal criticism that the track's design was one groove; Kenny Wallace argued, "They're so busy building condos they don't have time to fix the racetrack." Traditionalist fans also criticized the replacement of North Wilkesboro Speedway with the Texas in the schedule.
