FRM Race Preview: Texas

Michael McDowell on Texas
18 Starts
Best Finish: 14th
“I think Texas is going to be the real test for the new aero package. The track still needs some more time for the second and third lane to really come in, but we’re looking forward to getting our No. 34 Love’s Ford Mustang up to speed and I’m excited to have WinStar World Casino and Resort on the car this week, as well.”

Matt Tifft on Texas
(Xfinity Series) 7 Starts | 5 Top-10
Best Finish: 6th
“We’ve seen some good speed at Texas in the past in Xfinity, so I’m looking forward to going back this weekend in a Cup car. I think we’ll continue to see some interesting racing with the repave plus the aero ducts. Glad to have our partners at Surface Sunscreen and Tunity TV back on the No. 36 Ford Mustang.”
David Ragan on Texas
24 Starts | 2 Top-10
Best Finish: 7th
“I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do in our No. 38 Ford at Texas with the new rules package. We’ve learned a lot running the aero ducts and the tapered spacer earlier this season, which I think will help us see some good speed this weekend.”
