Bill Davis Racing Quotes:
Johnny Benson on racing at Texas Motor Speedway: "Texas is cool. I like that track. It's a fast race track, and it's a finesse-style track, but it's also very difficult to be fast there. Even though from the air it looks like Charlotte, or it looks like Atlanta, or it looks like other tracks, it's not. It's a fun place to race, and we've had some good success there, and we've had some failure there. Three races in a row we had engine problems, and I'm hoping we don't run into that again. I've always ran good there so I'm looking forward to it.
"We're not approaching anything differently than what we need to. We're just trying to run as fast as we can and do the best job that we can, and we're really not doing anything different than we've done all season to get us here. Sure, you're going to look around and you're going to see what's around and see what's happening, but I don't think we really did anything more or different earlier in the year either because they all count the same. I don't see any big changes."
