BEFORE THE RACE: QUOTES WITH DRIVER RICKY CARMICHAEL:

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON RETURNING TO TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY?

"I'm ready to go back to a venue that our team has been at before. I have had quite a bit of success at the 1.5-mile tracks this season and I'm ready to go back to one of the venues where we ran really well at. I hope to be able to get to victory lane for the No. 4 Monster Energy team. They've done a great job all season and we would love to put a tally in the win column."

CHASSIS HISTORY: The No. 4 Monster Energy team will take chassis No.028 to Texas Motor Speedway. The last time chassis No. 028 was in competition was at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This chassis has run six times in 2009 including races at Auto Club Speedway and Kentucky Motor Speedway where Carmichael earned his two career best Truck Series finishes of eighth at Auto Club Speedway and seventh at Kentucky Motor Speedway.
