Casey Atwood on Texas:
"The key to Texas is having a strong motor and the best body aerodynamically. I know Stewart and the guys will give me the horsepower I need to qualify well and run up-front.

“I’m a bigger fan of short-track racing, but I am definitely looking forward to racing on a larger track like Texas on Saturday. I had a good run here in 2000, finishing seventh after starting deep in the field, and when I was here in 2004 we were able to lead several laps. The Brewco crew and I have been the victims of some bad luck lately, and we know we can run better than we’ve shown over the last few races. We’re ready to take the Scott Towels® Ford to victory lane this weekend in Texas.”
