QUOTES
Stenhouse, Jr. on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“After two weekends off, I am ready to race. Racing under the lights at Texas always brings excitement. This track really suits my driving style. You can race the entire track from top to bottom and at night the track gets really fast. We have Pure Michigan on our Ford this weekend so hopefully we can get them to Victory Lane. I would like to add a cowboy hat to my collection.”
Crew chief Mike Kelley on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“This is our first night race of the season. You will see a lot of sparks early on in the race as the air pressures build up. We were loose there last year so we are bringing a slightly different set-up on our No. 6 Pure Michigan Ford. Our team has been fast on pit-road so far this year so with flawless pit stops and minor adjustments, I feel confident we can get this No. 6 Ford Mustang back to victory lane.”
