From the Cockpit:
Brandon Jones: “I’m excited to go to Texas this weekend and start our playoffs run. We’ve struggled at Texas a little bit recently. We have had good runs but struggle with closing the race, but we’ve got good notes and are working on getting better. I’ve had that one circled to work on for a while to do what I can to improve our run. We’re feeling confident after coming off a really good run last week at Bristol so hopefully we can take that momentum and get a win this weekend in the No. 19 Menards/Pelonis Toyota GR Supra.”
