<h2>History</h2>
NASCAR organizes a stock car racing series called NASCAR Xfinity Series. The minor league of NASCAR, the Xfinity series is considered as a stage for young drivers to venture up to the association's high-level hustling, the Cup Series.

The Xfinity Series races are held as a feeder race on the day preceding a Cup Series occasion planned for the end of that week.

Started in 1982, it was first called the Budweiser Late Model Sportsman Series from 1982 to 1983. In 1984, the name was changed to the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series. This name endured from 1984 to 2002.

It was then called The NASCAR Busch Series from 2003 till 2007, and the NASCAR Nationwide Series from 2008 through 2014.

It is presently supported by Comcast by means of its buyer link brand Xfinity, hence the current nomenclature of the series.

<h2>Sponsorship</h2>
On September 3, 2014, it was reported that Comcast would turn into the new sponsor of the Xfinity Series through its TV and web brand Xfinity. In 2016, NASCAR actualized a seven-race season finisher framework like the one utilized in the NASCAR Cup Series.

On August 21, 2019, NASCAR declared that the number of drivers of the NASCAR Xfinity Series will be reduced from 38 to 36.

<h2>Playoffs</h2>
12 drivers fit the bill for the Xfinity Series postseason races. Success in the initial 26 races would propel a driver into the Playoffs. After the 26th race, the season finisher field of 12 drivers is set.

<h2>Texas Motor Speedway- 2021 Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Track</h2>
