MARCO ANDRETTI, #26 TEAM VENOM ENERGY DRINK CAR

"I'm looking forward to TMS this weekend. I'm ready for the pack-racing and we usually run well there. Last year we finished third and we're looking to do better Saturday. I think the new two-race format is going to be different, but it will make things fun and great for the fans. Hopefully, the Venom boys will come away with two wins."

MIKE CONWAY, #27 TEAM HIRE HEROES USA/7-ELEVEN/DR PEPPER CAR

"It has been two years since I last raced at Texas, so I can't wait to get back out on track Friday. I'm looking forward to working with my new engineer, Allen McDonald, this weekend and working towards the rest of the season."

RYAN HUNTER-REAY, #28 TEAM DHL/ SUN DROP CITRUS SODA CAR

"I am really looking forward to Texas and the double-race format. It should be exciting for the fans and a new challenge for the teams. I'm excited to represent DPSG (Dr Pepper Snapple Group) and Sun Drop on their home turf. The DHL/Sun Drop team has been working hard preparing for Texas. We're very motivated to have a great showing this weekend."

DANICA PATRICK, #7 TEAM GoDaddy.com CAR

"I had a really strong race at Texas last year in the GoDaddy car and I am hoping for more of the same this year. Texas Motor Speedway always does a great job putting on a show for the fans. And with two races on Saturday night, I don't think this year will be any different."
