”I’m really looking forward to going back to my home track. Texas Motor Speedway is where I first started my racing career, so to be able to come back home this weekend with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series points lead really means a lot to me. We had a race get away from us earlier this year at Texas, so I’m really excited about chance to put our Great Clips Silverado in victory lane for the first time at my home track.”
