Hendrick Motorsports has been successful in four trips to the Texas road course so far. Chase Elliott won the inaugural race in 2021 while William Byron scored a victory last March. Kyle Larson also went to victory lane in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2024, earning Hendrick Motorsports' first ever road course win in the division. Alex Bowman, meanwhile, is one of only three drivers to score a top-10 finish in all four events at COTA and his average finish of 4.3 is second best in the Cup Series.
Byron will be behind the wheel of the No. 17 entry this weekend in the Xfinity Series. Here's how to watch this weekend.
