Donny Lia on Texas Motor Speedway: “I like that track. I like the way it looks. It looks like its fast. I’ve probably logged 10,000 laps there on the computer from when I was in high school and college. I’m really looking forward to going to Texas, but I say that every time that we race. ”
Donny Lia is Determined: “The bottom line is; good finishes on the higher speed tracks keep slipping away from us. I’m more determined going to Texas just to get a solid finish because we just haven’t had a real solid finish on a mile or bigger race track. We finished 12th at Kansas, which even the 12th at Kansas while being good for us – obviously we’d like to improve on that. I’m just determined. I think Jason (Miller, Crew Chief) is too. We all know that we need a real solid finish on a speedway track and that’s what I’m looking forward to going to Texas for. I want to show that we can not only run well on the short tracks, but that we can run well on the aero intensive tracks too.”
