JOEY COULTER, No. 18 Darrell Gwynn Foundation Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports - How was your Tundra during practice on Thursday at Texas? "It was pretty good. Race trim, you know the truck handled great. We were able to run pretty much anywhere on the race track. I haven't gone up in Brendan's (Gaughan) groove yet, but we'll get there before the night's out, I'm sure. I was real happy with our Tundra, real happy with it. The only thing is not a whole lot of speed when we put it in qualifying trim.
