“I ready to get back to Texas,” said Justin Marks. “We’re taking a truck that debuted this year at Charlotte and seemed to race really well so I’m looking forward to continuing its development. We had a bit of a rough day at Kansas and need to get a good run going again and continue this team’s momentum. Texas has been good to me in the past. It’s an awesome race track, very fast and on the edge, but very raceable as well. It can jump up to bite you in a hurry but it has a lot of room and makes for some of the best racing all year long.”
LAST RACE RECAP:
Justin Marks and the No. 66 GoPro Chevrolet were riding on momentum heading into the O’Reilly Auto Parts 250 at Kansas Speedway. Their hopes were high after a season best performance at Charlotte (ninth), but a disappointing qualifying lap (27th) and unexpected handling issues took the team out of contention and relegated them to a 20th place finish.
THE CREW CHIEF’S CHOICE FOR TEXAS:
Crew Chief Doug Wolcott has selected chassis No. 143 for the 15th Annual WinStar World Casino “400k”. This truck made its debut at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 20, where it qualified 25th and finished ninth. During comprehensive wind tunnel testing, this truck posted impressive numbers and is one of the best trucks in the Turn One fleet. It was Wolcott’s obvious choice for the aero-sensitive 1.5-mile oval of Texas Motor Speedway.
