Repave. The most intimidating word to a NASCAR driver. Texas Motor Speedway was both repaved and reconfigured before the NASCAR weekend in the spring, and this weekend drivers will again expect to have to tackle a treacherous track. Just how challenging can it be for the drivers still championship eligible? Seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson, who went to Victory Lane in April, did so after spinning in qualifying. So, slick track, different banking on each end of the speedway, and a hard tire. A few of the things Johnson along with Kyle and Kurt Busch believe will be the obstacles to overcome in the second race of the Round of 8. Hear them discuss those in this week’s edition of “How to Win.”
