NASCAR at Texas 2015: Start Time, TV Schedule, Live Stream and More

Bump drafting, burnouts and brawls. In Texas, NASCAR races typically go in that order.

Last fall, the biggest melee of the season took place at Texas Motor Speedway. Following an on-track incident, Jeff Gordon went after Brad Keselowski, who was pushed by Kevin Harvick—later dubbed "Harvicking"—leading to an all-out fracas between both teams.

At this point in the 2015 season, all three drivers have been critical to the storylines.

Harvick, well, he's dominated nearly every race. Keselowski has already clinched a spot in the Chase by virtue of his win at Auto Club Speedway. Meanwhile, Gordon is working his way back to the top of the standings during his final season.

Leading up to the green flag waving in Texas, here's a look at the schedule and preview of the Duck Commander 500.

Controversy has stirred constantly around NASCAR, but none has been more crippling thus far than Ryan Newman's recent penalty. Newman was hit with a tire penalty that docked him 75 points and left his crew chief, Luke Lambert, suspended for six races.

The No. 31 team is appealing the penalties, per Jay Pennell of Fox Sports, but Newman heads to Texas sitting in 26th place—one point ahead of Justin Allgaier. Team owner Richard Childress believes his team has a strong rebuttal for the infraction, as Bob Pockrass of ESPN passes along:

While Newman will be working to climb his way back into the Chase, Roush Fenway Racing just hopes to eventually get one driver in the top 16.

The best driver in the mix is Greg Biffle, who is 20th in the current points race. Biffle has just one top-10 finish from Daytona, so he has a long way to go in order to get back into the discussion.

Trevor Bayne, the newest RFR driver, spoke about where he feels his team is and where it needs to be heading, via Jerry Bonkowski of NBC Sports:

"

You can go two ways when you get beat down. You can turn against each other, put your head in the ground and not get up. But I think we’re all motivated to give it everything we’ve got.

We know this is what counts. I can promise you we’re not going to lay down. I’m not going to, nobody on the 6 team is going to, and I don’t think anybody at Roush Fenway is.

"

Between the fisticuffs and teams vying to recover from a difficult start, Saturday night promises to be a massive race. Even on a cookie-cutter track like Texas, the fireworks will fly before the checkered flag waves.
