FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - NASCAR president Mike Helton says the series is on track to remove the wings from the cars very soon.

While Helton didn't provide a specific date, he said Monday that NASCAR is hoping "within the next two or three races" it will be time to put more traditional spoilers back on the cars.

That timeline coincides with the March 28 race at Martinsville that most teams have expected to be the spoiler debut.

Speaking at Texas Motor Speedway's media day Monday, Helton said he expects NASCAR to have "a race or two" already with the spoiler by time the series is at the 1 1/2-mile Texas track April 18.

There are two races before the series goes to Martinsville, then Texas is the second race after that.
