“I’m pumped to be in the All-Star race again! It’s a super cool opportunity to have. It will be my first time driving this Next Gen car on a mile-and-a-half racetrack, so it will be interesting to get a feel for these kinds of tracks. I’m also looking forward to having Andy’s Frozen Custard back with us at Texas with their newest flavor of custard featured on the car – the All-Star Jackhammer!”

Landon Cassill, No. 10 Voyager Chevrolet

  • Landon Cassill has an average finish of 26.4 and has led one lap at Texas Motor Speedway across 10 starts

“Texas is one of my favorite markets and one of the most unique intermediate tracks we go to. Even though it’s just under a mile-and-a-half in size, it’s one of the fastest tracks we go to, and one of the most challenging. Survival will be key this week.”

Daniel Hemric, No. 11 Cirkul Chevrolet

  • Daniel Hemric has earned three top fives, four top 10s and has an average finish of 10.8 at Texas Motor Speedway across six starts
  • He has led 149 laps at Texas

“I’ve always enjoyed racing at Texas. It’s one of the more challenging tracks for teams as far as how differently both ends of the racetrack flow. It’s hard to be really good at both ends without compromising too much lap time. That can determine whether you win or lose the race. We just have to focus on things that are most important to our race team. Hopefully practice will give us a good baseline so we can move in right direction as a team to build on these types of tracks.
