Tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET on Fox NASCAR returns with the Sprint Cup Series at Texas Motor Speedway, where Kurt Busch will sit the pole for a race that can be live streamed free by clicking this link.

Busch missed the first three races of the year while battling domestic violence allegations, but since returning as been on a tear. This is Busch's second pole of the season, and although he hasn't registered a victory yet, he has three straight Top 5 finishes.

"[Harvick] has a couple of wins," Busch said. "So we still have our work cut out for us to keep up with his pace. But in short runs, qualifying sessions, things like that, it's great to push each other and to have the information go back-and-forth cleanly. It's an exciting time."

Busch has credited his crew chief Tony Gibson with keeping him even-keeled while facing the pressure of making up lost ground from missing those early races.

"His veteran status in this garage is what helps put me at ease," Busch said. "I love his experience level. You put trust in guys and go for it. I'm happy we've got two poles."

While Busch is pushing past distractions, veteran driver Ryan Newman is facing fres ones. He was issued a 75-point penalty last week, and his crew chief was suspended for six weeks after a NASCAR investigation revealed they were doctoring their tires to decrease the amount of air that bleeds out.

"We're good," Newman said. "We're just here to race." He will begin in seventh position.
