Kenseth on racing in the Busch Series at Texas Motor Speedway:
"Texas is one of my favorite tracks. It's super fast, just like Atlanta and the pavement has aged now to where there are multiple grooves around the racetrack. I think you're starting to see more racing at Texas like what was at Atlanta last week. Texas is one of the few places where we we've won both in Busch and in Cup, so it's pretty special to me. The facility is top notch and they have some of the best crowds on the circuit. We're back in the Pennzoil car this weekend and hopefully we can put it in victory lane before the end of the year. Jimmy and the guys have done a great job all year in giving me competitive, fast racecars. I don't expect anything different this weekend."
Crew Chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“The car we are bringing sat on the pole at Kansas and finished second, but could have won the race. The guys have worked really hard preparing the car for this weekend and with Texas being one of Matt’s favorite tracks we will hopefully be able to get the No. 17 Pennzoil Ford Fusion in victory lane.”
