"The only other mile-and-a-half that we've run to date is Las Vegas, and it doesn't wear the tires as much as Texas does. Lap times are very similar, very fast, but tire wear is a lot different at Texas. You wear it a lot more. So that is something that we will focus on and make sure our engineers have a good game plan for it.
"I feel very confident going to Texas based on what we learned at Las Vegas. We had some issues late in the race in Vegas that hindered our finish. But, as far as drivability of the car and raw speed, we had it for sure. That's exciting and very promising for our team and for Front Row going to Texas now.
