"I've personally had some good runs at this place in the Xfinity Series and last year, I was a few late-race cautions from finishing in the top 15 in the fall Cup race. In these races, you have to find a good balance with your car and conserve fuel for long runs.

“I’m excited to get our Lilly Diabetes American Diabetes Association Mustang back on track after two weekends off. I’m really optimistic going into Texas with a racecar that has the potential to win given how good we were at Auto Club Speedway a few weeks ago.

"I'm really looking forward to continuing the momentum we've had over the past few weeks. I like Texas [Motor Speedway] because it has different grooves. If the car isn't driving the way I like it, I can move around the track until I find something that works.

“I’m excited to get back to one of my favorite places! I’m looking forward to making some laps with AdvoCare on our Ford Mustang. I’m hoping for a little redemption, as I blew up in the fall Truck race. I’m really looking to build off our run in California and settle in these next few races.”

“Texas is a special place for me. It’s where I got my first victory in the XFINITY Series and where I made my first Sprint Cup start. I’ve always loved racing here. I’m ready to get back to the track after this past weekend off.

“I really enjoy racing at Texas. It’s been a good track for me in the past and I feel like we’ve made some positive changes with our cars. Texas will be a good place to take what we’ve learned so far this season and see what we’ve got.

Dakoda Armstrong and the No. 43 team will visit the third different 1.5-mile track of the 2015 season this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS). The team looks to rebound strong after engine problems cut their efforts short in California.

If you look at Sam Hornish Jr.'s calendar, there's a good chance Texas Motor Speedway is circled bright and bold. Hornish had success at the 1.5-mile track over the last 15 years in NASCAR's top series and in the IndyCar Series.
