Q&A WITH CREW CHIEF HAROLD HOLLY:
You haven t had the finishes you d like at the 1.5-mile tracks this year. What are you doing differently for Texas? “Instead of bringing something brand new, we chose to cut the majority of the body off (of Chassis No. 012, which raced at Vegas) and make some updates to it and get it to where we think it needs to be, and that s what we re bringing to Texas. (The car) showed promise in the wind tunnel. I think it ll give us more forgiveness with our chassis package with the aero (dynamics) we have on it now. ”
“It takes so much different type stuff to work on the Car of Today. We ve somewhat got it figured out. All of our mile-and-a-half races wouldn t have been terrible, if it weren t for some mistakes. Pit crew mistakes, pit road speeding mistakes. We had things take us out of the top-15 at Vegas (Motor Speedway) and at California (Speedway). Both of those races, we should have ended up in the top-20. Both of those appeared worse than what they really were.
“Atlanta (Motor Speedway) was absolutely horrible. That car, we re not taking back until we re able to do some things to it to make it right. It shows what it needs to show in the wind tunnel, but it doesn t act on the race track like we need it to, so we re going to make some changes to it. ”
