Driver Jason Leffler on Texas:
“I enjoy racing at Texas and it’s an incredible facility. I’m a big fan of the fast mile and a half tracks, and Texas falls right into that category. When the track first opened there was only one useful groove, but that has widened itself out over time as the surface has settled and now you can move around a bit more. Based on what we’ve seen in the past, I believe the fans will see a lot of side-by-side action, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the race isn’t decided during the last lap of the event.”
