Houston Raceway Park
Its the first of two races that are very important to the team. David (Powers) and I have back-to-back home races. Houston is Davids home track and its cool to go there. Its a second home for the race team. Well have a lot of friends and supporters there rooting us on. We want to do well for them. I won my first round of Top Fuel competition there a few years back. We run well there. We want to build on the momentum that weve had all season long.
