From the Cockpit:

Brandon Jones: “After having an off weekend we are recharged and looking forward to Texas Motor Speedway. It is always fun to head out west and come back to this mile and a half with a lot of unique characteristics. Looking at the weather from practice/qualifying to race day seems like a drastic change.  We will need to make sure we stay on top of our adjustments and be prepared for the temperature drop to be dialed in for the race. I am looking forward to having my friend Steve Torrence, from the Capco Contractors Toyota with NHRA come out and support us as well. This week I will be utilizing my dirt micro, the TRD simulator, film and past notes to make sure I am prepared for Texas. It is still early in the year but this race plays an important part since we will be coming back here in the fall to start our XFINITY playoffs. We hope you’ll see our Menards Delta Faucets GR Supra Saturday in victory lane.”
