DALLAS \u2013 NASCAR superstar Dale Earnhardt Jr.<\/strong> is one week away from his next career challenge – the repaved and re-profiled racing surface at Texas Motor Speedway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earnhardt and his Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series peers will roll onto the 1.5-mile oval in Fort Worth as group on Friday morning, April 7 for their first hot laps on a track that has undergone a complete offseason repaving, installation of an extensive drainage system and a reduction in the traditional banking in Turns 1 and 2 from 24 to 20 degrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t seen the track yet, but the repaves are a bit of a challenge for everyone because there\u2019s obviously not a preferred groove,\u201d Earnhardt Jr. said during the media session prior to Thursday\u2019s No Limits Luncheon that served as a season preview for the speedway. \u201cI know they worked hard to try to speed up the aging process to give us the ability to widen the groove.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a driver, you\u2019re always excited by what might be better, so I\u2019m anticipating getting on the track and getting some laps.\u201d<\/p>\n

The O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts 500, scheduled for 334 laps\/501 miles, will take the green flag Sunday, April 9, at 12:30 p.m. CT (TV: FOX, Radio: PRN, Sirius XM Channel 90, locally 95.9 FM The Ranch).<\/p>\n

Earnhardt Jr., who scored his first NASCAR XFINITY and Cup Series victories at TMS, hasn\u2019t won at \u201cThe Great American Speedway\u201d since 2000. But he did finish second in last April\u2019s Duck Commander 500 in his most recent on-track appearance at the venue.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s the biggest name in the sport, without question,\u201d TMS President Eddie Gossage said. \u201cThere\u2019s definitely a connection (with Junior) because winning didn\u2019t just happen once, it happened twice in two different series. I was a Bristol when Dale Sr. won his first Cup race and forevermore Dale Sr. and Bristol were linked together. I\u2019d like to think forever we\u2019ll be linked to Dale Jr. He earned it on the race track.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No. 88 Axalta Chevrolet SS fielded by Hendrick Motorsports, said he has wheeled several competitive cars in Fort Worth since that breakthrough win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how close we are to the next one, you just keep showing up,\u201d Junior said. \u201cI think we\u2019re a team that can win pretty much anywhere we go. There\u2019s a lot of teams like that on the circuit, which is a problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis place definitely has always been one of my preferred stops because of the success we had in the XFINITY Series and Cup Series – you never forget where you won your first race, and neither do your fans. So I always look forward to coming here. This is a track that really puts on a good show and before the repave it was a very wide race track and you could use a lot of different lines and it was so much fun. I think the track will still be that way. This place is going to maintain its character and personality. The asphalt is new but it\u2019ll age with the weather out here and the environment, it\u2019ll speed up that process.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first five Cup events of 2017 have produced five different winners. Earnhardt Jr., who finished 16th in last Sunday\u2019s race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., counts himself among the 20 to 25 cars that have a chance to win every week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been around the sport a long time and in the \u201870s there might have been six (cars capable of winning); in the \u201880s there might have been 12,\u201d he said. \u201cWith the cars getting faster\u2026we\u2019ve slowed down the cars a little in the corners with the aero package, but they\u2019re still much faster than over the last decade. Passing becomes more challenging and it just makes the competition even tougher.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earnhardt Jr. is 21st in Cup points with 91, or 152 behind Auto Club Speedway winner and leader Kyle Larson of Chip Ganassi Racing.<\/p>\n

JUNIOR COMPETING CONCUSSION-FREE:<\/strong> Earnhardt Jr. confirmed he has fully recovered from the concussion-like symptoms he began experiencing after a crash at Michigan International Speedway in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019d be in the car if I wasn\u2019t (fully recovered),\u201d he said. \u201cYou can\u2019t get out there with any kind of limitations or disability. I definitely wouldn\u2019t want me in the car if I wasn\u2019t 100 percent. There\u2019s too many good drivers out there that could do a better job than me if you\u2019re not 100 percent. We tested in the offseason and checked all those boxes and felt good about what I was feeling then. I\u2019ve felt great all season, had a good time in every race. I\u2019m confident we\u2019ll get what we need (speed-wise) and figure out this new aero package at all these tracks and start running well.\u201d<\/p>\n

He downplayed the notion he did anything heroic when he sought medical help, and then agreed to sit out 18 races while recuperating. He returned to the series with the season-opening Daytona 500.<\/p>\n

\u201cConcussions weren\u2019t common, but there wasn\u2019t a popular method of how to approach concussions, other than to wait it out, wait for it to go away,\u201d Earnhardt Jr. said. \u201cYou didn\u2019t hear the horror stories you hear today. You didn\u2019t hear about the long-term effects. We were just so uneducated about it. The reason why I went to get help was basically I was incapacitated. I couldn\u2019t do my job, much less typical everyday things. I had to seek help. There wasn\u2019t no hiding my symptoms\u2026you kind of get scared into getting checked out. You want to get some professional help.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s hard for me to take credit for doing the right thing because I was scared into that situation. I was desperate to get something figured out and get some treatment to fix it. Every condition is different and gives you something new. It\u2019s kind of like walking through a haunted house; you don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to jump out at you and what the experience is going to be like. That scares you; that gets you right in front of the doctor quick.\u201d<\/p>\n

BYRON SETTLING IN AT JR MOTORSPORTS:<\/strong> NASCAR XFINITY Series rookie contender William Byron is adjusting not only to a new series, but also to a new team. Byron exited his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series ride with Kyle Busch Motorsports at the end of the 2016 season to join JR Motorsports, an affiliate of Hendrick Motorsports.<\/p>\n

Byron will return to Texas Motor Speedway for the My Bariatric Solutions 300 on Saturday, April 8, as driver of the No. 9 Axalta\/Liberty University Chevrolet SS. Byron scored seven truck series wins in Busch\u2019s Toyota Tundra last year, including the Rattlesnake 400 night race at TMS in June. XFINITY Series regulars will log their first practice laps on TMS\u2019 repaved and re-profiled 1.5-mile oval on Friday, April 7, at 1:30 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to just start the new chapter of the race track,\u201d said Byron, the XFINITY Sunoco Rookie of the Year leader with 72 points, 17 ahead of Daniel Hemric. \u201cI have a good history with the victory here in June and hopefully I can carry some of that confidence into this year. We\u2019ve had a couple top fives to build on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Byron also has logged four top-10 results and one pole this season.<\/p>\n

Byron believes TMS\u2019 new surface, now featuring banking reduced from 24 to 20 degrees in Turns 1 and 2, will be similar to Speedway Motorsports Inc. sister track, Kentucky Speedway.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had success at Kentucky – we won that race – so hopefully it\u2019s like that repave,\u201d Byron said. \u201cJudging off how the track (TMS) looks, it looks like it doesn\u2019t have a ton of grip like normal repaves so I think it\u2019s going to produce some good racing. Hopefully the groove is two wide and you\u2019re able to race side by side. Repaves are always pretty good races – everyone\u2019s on edge so it makes it interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Byron said he definitely is benefitting from working alongside JRM teammate Elliott Sadler, a former TMS Cup winner who currently has a 189-172 point lead over his prot\u00e9g\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u201cElliott Sadler has been helping me so much,\u201d Byron said. \u201cWe\u2019re able to talk about restarts or what happened last weekend, little things that make a big difference, knowing what to do inside the car with switches, how to get the best restarts, how to communicate with your team. He\u2019s been a great resource.\u201d<\/p>\n

Byron added the same holds true with team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really cool. He\u2019s really involved with our team,\u201d Byron said. \u201cI grew up watching him and now being able to talk to him and get to know him and talk about racing, just trying to learn from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite finishing a strong fifth in the final NCWTS standings last year, Byron said it was a \u201cnobrainer\u201d to accept team owner Rick Hendrick\u2019s offer to join his championship-winning juggernaut.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the people I have around me, I have a ton of support,\u201d said Byron, who won\u2019t turn 20 until late November. \u201cThere\u2019s a transition period that\u2019s difficult as a rookie, but that\u2019s mainly on my end. There\u2019s really a system there in place for someone like me to come in. It\u2019s been good getting to know my guys and we\u2019re working well together. We have a great program at JRM and we\u2019re hitting our stride.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Brandon Wade\/Getty Images for Texas Motor Speedway)<\/p><\/div>\n

RAHAL READY TO REPEAT ON THE REPAVE:<\/strong> Graham Rahal still is catching his breath after his victory in last summer\u2019s Firestone 600 Verizon IndyCar Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. The race will be run the evening of Saturday, June 10, with a new sponsor and titled the Rainguard Water Sealers 600.<\/p>\n

Rahal captured his lone win of 2016 on TMS\u2019 1.5-mile oval in late August, two months after \u201cAmerica\u2019s Original Nighttime IndyCar Race\u201d was postponed by two days of rain in June. \u201cThe Resumption\u201d saw Rahal edge James Hinchcliffe by 0.0080 of a second to establish the record for the closest INDYCAR finish in TMS history and fifth-closest in Indy car history.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, great memories to get the win,\u201d said Rahal, driver of the No. 15 Steak n\u2019 Shake Honda fielded by Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. \u201cThis place has been tough before and last year rewarded us. But we\u2019re going to have to focus pretty hard on the repave. I anticipate the race will be even crazier than what you saw at the end of last season. The repave is going allow us to go, potentially, even more cars wide. I\u2019m anticipating you\u2019ll have a little more grip just because it\u2019s new. The old track was pretty rough on top of (Turns) 3 and 4 and our cars, as low to the ground as we run, made it difficult. I hope that\u2019s a little better this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to a complete repaving, Turns 1 and 2 have been re-profiled from 24 to 20 degrees; Turns 3 and 4 have retained their 24-degree banking.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be exciting to go out there and see the facility all done-up and looking good,\u201d Rahal said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to get to test (April 12) after the Cup race and I would think it\u2019s going to change things for us quite a bit. From a (Firestone) tire perspective, it\u2019s going to be relatively the same but with new pavement you\u2019re going to have to adjust.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope the end result is the same as last year. It was one of the most exhilarating races you could ever watch. I mean, I heard from fans of all types that last year\u2019s INDYCAR race here was one of the top three races they\u2019ve ever seen in their lifetime.\u201d Rahal, who finished 17th in the season opener on the Streets of St. Petersburg, Fla., on March 12 after contact in the opening laps, noted that last summer\u2019s race was different than the hairraising \u201cpack racing\u201d made famous at TMS a decade ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s edge-of-your-seat racing, but it\u2019s also clean,\u201d Rahal said. \u201cThere wasn\u2019t too much bumping and banging, which we don\u2019t need in our cars. Guys were giving each other room and guys were having a blast. The fans love it. The response to the video on my Facebook page (of the final 10 laps), it had over 2.5-million impressions in just a few days.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are attracted to that style of craziness. So if it\u2019s safe and if it\u2019s fast, it\u2019ll be fine with us. The new car (for 2018)\u2026that car is going to produce even closer racing the way it develops downforce. So I would anticipate the racing over the next couple of years is going to get better and better and better.\u201d<\/p>\n

GOSSAGE \u201cJACKED\u201d BY SEASON OF CHANGE:<\/strong> As the NASCAR tour prepares for its first 2017 visit to the Dallas-Fort Worth market, TMS President Eddie Gossage is all about change.<\/p>\n

That begins, of course, with a repaved and re-profiled 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway. \u201cAny fan or reporter using the term \u2018cookie-cutter,\u2019 all they\u2019re doing is showing they don\u2019t know the sport,\u201d said Gossage, reiterating one of his pet peeves. \u201cIf you\u2019re going to call it a \u2018cookiecutter\u2019 now, you\u2019re Stevie Wonder. Even he could tell the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gossage noted the decision to reduce the banking in Turns 1 and 2 from 24 to 20 degrees was made by Marcus Smith, Speedway Motorsports Inc., CEO and son of founder and executive chairman O. Bruton Smith.
\nBut Gossage also is excited about all that\u2019s new with NASCAR.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a season of change in NASCAR with a new series sponsor (Monster Energy); we\u2019ve got a new race sponsor with O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts and we\u2019ve got a brand new race track and a new format for the sport (segment racing). I\u2019m really jacked up over the start of the NASCAR season so far – five races, five different winners. Guys you typically expect to be at the front of the pack they\u2019re not. You got young guys that are winning races that are the future of our sport and they\u2019re showing why they\u2019re the future of our sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the track is different – not just the asphalt but the re-profiling of Turns 1 and 2 – whoever\u2019s been good in the past, that doesn\u2019t mean anything as to who\u2019s going to win next week. It could easily be a Kyle Larson, a Ryan Blaney, Erik Jones, Chase Elliott and that to me is really exciting because we\u2019re going through this transition. It\u2019s great to witness it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gossage also is a proponent of NASCAR\u2019s new three-segment racing format.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople always oppose change,\u201d Gossage said. \u201cBefore the first race\u2026\u2019It\u2019s the worst idea\u2026I\u2019m never going to watch another race in my life\u2019\u2026give it a chance. After watching it, I think it\u2019s great. You\u2019ve got really hard racing and they\u2019re trying strategies to be at the front of the pack when those first and second segments come to a close. I think it\u2019s fascinating. At the end of the day, you\u2019ve got a guy standing in Victory Lane celebrating. That\u2019s all you can ask for.\u201d<\/p>\n
