Texas, qualifica: tripletta del team Roush

Gran pole position di Greg Biffle in Texas, nel terzultimo appuntamento della NASCAR Sprint Cup 2011, anche se a lasciare di stucco fan e addetti ai lavori è stata la tripletta messa in tasca dal team Roush. Al secondo e terzo posto si sono infatti piazzati David Ragan e Matt Kenseth, con Paul Menard primo rappresentante del marchio Chevrolet, seguito da Tony Stewart e dal fresco "appiedato" in casa Waltrip David Reutimann.
