McMurray on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:

“In the past, I ve really enjoyed running at Texas. In my first four starts, I ran really, really well. Last year, we just couldn t seem to find the right handling on the track, but I think we have that problem resolved. This weekend we are taking the same car that I ran at both Las Vegas and at Atlanta, where the car wasn t exactly great, but we had a good handle on everything. It s also a car that we found doesn t qualify very well, but races really well and that s obviously what s more important. This weekend, I m really expecting the same type of run. It was great going into last weekend s off weekend with a string of good runs this No. 26 team put together. Hopefully, we can continue to knock off these top-10 finishes each weekend. “

Crew Chief Larry Carter on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:

“Texas is setup a lot like Atlanta and some of the other tracks we run at, like Charlotte. After our run in Atlanta a few weeks ago, we decided that we would bring the same car to Texas. All the guys on the No. 26 team are excited and pumped up about the recent run of good finishes and effort we have all made both at the track and back at the shop. It s hard not to think about where we would be if hadn t gotten wrecked at Daytona and Fontana earlier this season, but that s water under the bridge. We need to focus on where we are now and the races we have coming up. Texas should be another good run for this No. 26 Crown Royal team. The team has knocked off some great pit stops and the communication between everyone has been great. I m real proud of this team and look forward to a good effort this weekend in Texas. ”
