QUOTES:
Kenseth on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“Texas is a really great race track that I really enjoy racing at twice during the season. There are a lot of fans who always come out and support us there, and it’s also a place that I’ve been lucky enough to have had some great races and finishes at. Texas is a fast 1.5-mile track where we have options to run several lines. It’s a place that can be challenging as well since the straightaways are fairly flat while the corners have some high banking in them. I’m looking forward to this weekend and hope to have another strong performance at a 1.5-mile track similar to our run at Kansas.”
Crew chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“We’re bringing the car that we last ran at Charlotte, and I thought it was a pretty good car for us. Going into Texas we ran pretty decent in the spring, but I also feel like we’ve improved our stuff since the spring as well. We’re going to take some of what we learned at Kansas in regards to set-ups and plan to apply it to Texas as a starting point for this weekend’s race.”
