“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.

Johnson drove the No. 48 Chevrolet SS to Victory Lane last fall after starting third and leading 191 laps en route to his fourth win at the mile-and-a-half track in Fort Worth, Texas, which leads all drivers.

“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.

Chris Buescher makes his fourth NASCAR XFINITY Series start at Texas Motor Speedway on Friday. In his previous three starts, Buescher’s best finish is 13th, which came last fall.

Ninth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship Point Standings, Aric Almirola and No. 43 team are off to a great start. Last race, Almirola tallied his fourth Top-15 finish this season, and the team is eying their first Top-10 finish this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. The team tested at Charlotte Motor Speedway last month and feel like they made some gains in their 1.5-mile program that could translate this weekend.
