Justin Allgaier on Texas Motor Speedway:
“Texas [Motor Speedway] gets more and more character as it ages. It definitely makes it more of a challenge for us as drivers, but that makes for better racing for the fans. We have Texas Lottery on the car this weekend, and I want to get a good finish for them since it’s their first time on our car.”
Crew Chief Steve Addington on Texas Motor Speedway:
“Texas [Motor Speedway] is a multiple-groove track, which is good because it gives Justin the opportunity to search around for the best line for the Texas Lottery Chevy. We’re looking forward to having a strong run these last few races.”
