When the track first opened they had all kinds of problems. Their first reaction was to hunker down, & get defensive. Remember the "Shut up & Race" T-shirts? They quickly decided that the problems were real, & the complaints, valid, opened the check book, & fixed them. If this had been a ISC track. The T-shirts would have been the end of it, & the track would have gotten a few band aids at best. Sorta' like the closed door meeting to address the drivers complaints about this thing they have to try to race now. One thing I have to admire about TMS, is that they got it right.

I think this weekend is going to belong to one of the Roush boys. The Roush cars almost always do really well here and I wouldn't be surprised to see two or three of them ending up in the top 10. I'm going to go out on a little bit of a limb here and guess that Biffle will win this weekend with Edwards in a close second or third. Biffle has had some bad luck so far this year and like you said, he has won at Texas before and seems to like the track.
