Ward Burton Quotes:
“I’m excited to be reunited with Morgan-McClure Motorsports at Texas. Texas is a challenging race track, especially with the current rules and tires. We have to work on getting the right setup in the car for qualifying. Our main race is on Friday when we have to qualify. I think Chris (Carrier) learned some things from Atlanta and I’ve qualified well there (Texas) in the past. We will go there and try to do the same thing. Once we are qualified, we can focus on our ‘second’ race on Sunday. I know we are all going to work hard to make this a good weekend for Lucas Oil and Morgan-McClure, well for all of us.”
