Three to watch

Kyle Busch: He won Saturday’s O’Reilly Challenge and Friday’s Camping World Truck Series race. He’s due to break through in the Sprint Cup, as he had one of the fastest cars in practice Saturday and will start fifth today. He’ll also debut with new crew chief Dave Rogers.

Carl Edwards: Edwards is the only driver to sweep in the Sprint Cup at TMS, accomplishing the feat last year. The No. 99 Aflac Ford starts sixth and has been fast all weekend. Edwards had the second-fastest car in Happy Hour on Saturday and has three Sprint Cup victories at TMS to his credit.

Matt Kenseth: He’s going to have his work cut out for him, as his No. 17 DeWalt Ford starts 30th. But if it can be done at Texas, Kenseth is a good bet to do it. He’s run well lately, and no one gets around TMS better. Kenseth has led more laps than any other driver at the 1 1/2 -mile quadoval (498) and has averaged better than a top-10 finish in his 14 starts.
