Spinning Our Wheels in Texas
Denver, CO- Furniture Row Racing discovered everything is bigger in Texas, including the challenges. The team struggled during practice and did not qualify for the race at Texas Motor Speedway last weekend.Crew Chief Joe Garone explains the situation; "We brought a brand new car to Texas prepped by PPI Motorsports. We weren't able to test the car, and unfortunately used the full practice time struggling to get it dialed in."
On the up side, the team made it though technical inspection without any major issues.
Texas was good to Kasey Kahne. Kahne was victorious after speeding away from the field on the final restart with 17 laps to go.The team has the week off, but will spend some time testing at Richmond. The next race for Furniture Row Racing's Busch and CUP team will be Phoenix on April 22nd. Kenny Wallace will be behind the wheel of the CUP car, and Jerry Robertson will make his first appearance in the Busch series this year.
