Mike Skinner on driving at Texas Motor Speedway
“Texas is always an extremely challenging track. I’ve always run well there, but haven’t been able to make it to victory lane yet. The International Truck / Monaco RVs Toyota Tundra team has built momentum over the last few weeks and we’re all very excited about where we’re at as a team right now. The guys have worked a lot to prepare the truck to my liking and I think with a little luck we’ll be able to be right there fighting for the win on Friday night.”
Crew Chief Stacy Johnson on racing at Texas Motor Speedway
