– AJ Allmendinger on Texas Motor Speedway
“Texas is one of the more challenging mile and a half race tracks that we go to with both ends of the race track being completely different. I had a lot of fun in the All-Star race there last year. It’s a tough racetrack, probably one of the fastest we go to. I think we can go there and build off the speed we’ve had at mile and a half tracks this year. It’ll be a fun, hot, slick race and I am looking forward to the challenge.”
Justin Haley, No. 31 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Camaro ZL1
“I really enjoy racing at Texas. Last year at this race, we earned one of our best finishes as a team after starting the race pretty far back. It has come to be one of my favorite mile-and-a-half tracks, so hopefully we have another good weekend there.”

Daniel Hemric, No. 10 Poppy Bank Chevrolet Camaro
“Texas is going to be a warm one – probably one of our hotter races of the year. I am excited about what kind of racetrack and surface we will have, since it varies every time we go there. I am open minded with no expectations and look forward to doing what this group is capable of. I’m just going to try to execute and give ourselves the best option to go and have a good day.”

Layne Riggs, No. 11 Infinity Communications Group Chevrolet Camaro
“I am really looking forward to Texas Motor Speedway this weekend; a lot of firsts – first Xfinity start, first start at Texas, first start at a mile-and-a-half in an Xfinity car. I’ve been working hard in the simulator to prepare and fortunately Kaulig Racing has a lot of data to help guide me, as well as a couple of teammates who I can lean on for advice.”

Chandler Smith, No. 16 Quick Tie Products Chevrolet Camaro
“I know everyone likes to circle Bristol or the Roval as the two races that can catch you out in the Round of 12, but Texas is just as important to get right. Our intermediate package was really strong earlier in the season, and we’ve tried to get back to that point over the last couple months. If we can get out of there with some stage points and a solid finish, we’ll be sitting nicely heading into Charlotte.”
