“I look forward to racing at Texas this weekend. I was fortunate enough to win a NASCAR Truck Series race there in 2013, so it’s nice to go back to a track where you have had success at in the past. It’s always been one of my favorite tracks. I am grateful for the opportunity and excited to be working with Travis Mack and the No. 16 crew again.”

DANIEL
HEMRIC


“I’m looking forward to Texas; it’s one of the faster, on-edge racetracks we go to. The cars do such different things at both ends of the racetrack, and you have to find the right compromise to just be okay on one end and be really good at the other. That’s what makes this track so challenging. Hopefully we can compromise on the right things and give ourselves a chance to have a solid day.”

Josh Williams Headshot

“Texas Motor Speedway is a difficult track. Both corners are extremely different, and you’ve really got to set up your car for one corner more than the other. It’s a super fast race track, and finding that balance is key.”

AJ
ALLMENDINGER

“Texas is definitely the most challenging mile-and-a-half we go to with one and two being completely different than three and four. It’s really fast, usually hot and slick. Our mile-and-a-half program has been pretty strong so I’m looking forward to going there. We definitely learned somethings in Martinsville even though it is a completely different racetrack. We’re just trying to get some momentum; we found some speed last week and hopefully we can continue that this week.”

I appreciate WWEX coming on board with us this weekend and look forward to a fun race on Saturday afternoon.”
