Quotes:

Wimmer on the Texas Motor Speedway:

“Texas is a really cool track.  It reminds me a lot of Atlanta.  We’re taking a new car, an ‘06.  So, it’ll be interesting to see how it reacts, how it drives.  Practice will be key on Thursday to really shake it out.”

“As a track, it is one that really awes me.  It is really neat to stand down in the infield and look around at the stands.  And the nightlife [at the TMS] is pretty neat too.”

Wimmer on what the team learned at Atlanta and could apply in Texas:

“We learned some ‘what not to do’s’.  We went to Atlanta with a conservative set-up.  We’ve made some changes on this car that we are anxious to try out.  If we have to, we can always fall back to the Atlanta set-up.”
