TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY REPAVE: "Tracks that go through these repaves change a lot for the first couple of races," Allmendinger said. "The winter months can definitely change a new surface, and getting the cars back on the track and putting the rubber down again makes it a new racing surface. The track changes a lot, but more than anything, there’s a lot that no matter what race you go to, you can learn something good or bad. Texas last year, both of our cars had some good speed so hopefully we can go there and get some speed again out of the racecars and have good runs."
