Austin Dillon Rallies Against Tight-Handling Chevrolet to Finish Eighth in Ruud/Smurfit Kappa Chevrolet at Texas Motor Speedway

“The Ruud/Smurfit Kappa Chevrolet was tight for the entire race. Danny Stockman made good calls on pit road, but we couldn’t get the No. 2 Chevrolet dialed in to where we needed to be. We made some gains during the middle part of the race but when I was in traffic, the car just tightened up too much. It felt like the right-front tire was wearing a lot faster than it should because we were so tight. We have a lot of work to do. We aren’t giving up. We’ll get it figured out and get back to Victory Lane.”

Late-Race Tire Issue Leads to 13th-Place Finish for Ty Dillon and the No. 3 Bulwark Chevrolet Camaro Team

“Tonight was just a case of bad luck at the end of race. We had a car that was good enough to finish in the top-five, but we had a late-race tire issue. Things like this happen, but I’m definitely proud of the speed that we brought tonight. We didn’t let it get too far away from us, and we were still able to finish 13th.”

Brandon Jones and the No. 33 Texas Rangers Team Earn A Top-10 Finish Their First Time up to Bat at Texas Motor Speedway

“It’s been a fun week with the Texas Rangers baseball team on the hood of our No. 33 Chevy. We had speed during Thursday’s practice sessions. Mike Hillman Jr. and the No. 33 guys unloaded a fast car, so I felt confident heading into qualifying. We fought a tight-handling car during the race, but made some gains that helped control manageability. Saturday night was fun and I’m looking forward to the other night races on our schedule. I’ve also got to thank my guys for all their hard work.”

Brendan Gaughan Navigates to 12th-Place Finish at Texas Motor Speedway

“Today was a tough day as a whole. We fought a tight-handling Chevrolet for most of the race and couldn’t free up the car. I am really happy with my WIX Filters crew. They did a great job on pit road. We made some big changes at the beginning of the race. The guys performed at a very high level on pit road. We had a shot at the top-10 near the end going three-wide, but we ended up too loose on that last run. It just wasn’t what we needed to be up front tonight.”
