JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 AXALTA/TEXAS A&M SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING CHEVROLET SS – 4TH IN STANDINGS

"I always enjoy the trip to Texas Motor Speedway. It's a fast, high-banked track with multiple grooves. There should be a lot of tire wear - and 'drop off' of the speeds - during the race which should lead to an exciting race.

"I can't wait to get there - especially with how well we ran at Fontana. We had a fast race car in California, and I hope to have another fast one in Texas."

At Texas, Jeff Gordon has 1 win, 8 top fives, 11 top tens, 3 poles, has led 599 laps, has an average starting position of 12.2 and an average finishing position of 17.81.
