I’m also looking forward to having Andy’s Frozen Custard back with us at Texas with their newest flavor of custard featured on the car – the All-Star Jackhammer!” – AJ Allmendinger on the All-Star Race

Landon Cassill, No. 10 Voyager Chevrolet
Landon Cassill has an average finish of 26.4 and has led one lap at Texas Motor Speedway across 10 starts
“Texas is one of my favorite markets and one of the most unique intermediate tracks we go to. Even though it’s just under a mile-and-a-half in size, it’s one of the fastest tracks we go to, and one of the most challenging. Survival will be key this week.” – Landon Cassill on Texas Motor Speedway
Daniel Hemric, No. 11 Cirkul Chevrolet
Daniel Hemric has earned three top fives, four top 10s and has an average finish of 10.8 at Texas Motor Speedway across six starts

“I’ve always enjoyed racing at Texas. It’s one of the more challenging tracks for teams as far as how differently both ends of the racetrack flow. It’s hard to be really good at both ends without compromising too much lap time. That can determine whether you win or lose the race. We just have to focus on things that are most important to our race team. Hopefully practice will give us a good baseline so we can move in right direction as a team to build on these types of tracks.” – Daniel Hemric on Texas Motor Speedway

- He has an average finish of 6.0 at Texas Motor Speedway across two starts and has led 21 laps
