Stock car races in the NASCAR Cup Series have been held at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas since 1997. The 400-mile (640 km) event, currently known as Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 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.
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.[2]
Chase Elliott is the defending winner of the event, having won it in 2024.
