DANIEL HEMRIC
“I’m looking forward to Texas; it’s one of the faster, on-edge racetracks we go to. The cars do such different things at both ends of the racetrack, and you have to find the right compromise to just be okay on one end and be really good at the other. That’s what makes this track so challenging. Hopefully we can compromise on the right things and give ourselves a chance to have a solid day.” – Daniel Hemric on Texas Motor Speedway

“Texas is definitely the most challenging mile-and-a-half we go to with one and two being completely different than three and four. It’s really fast, usually hot and slick. Our mile-and-a-half program has been pretty strong so I’m looking forward to going there. We definitely learned somethings in Martinsville even though it is a completely different racetrack. We’re just trying to get some momentum; we found some speed last week and hopefully we can continue that this week.” – AJ Allmendinger on Texas Motor Speedway
