The No. 11 car fought coming off the corners for grip, but as Denny would say over the radio “We just can’t put the throttle down”.  By Lap 113 Denny was at 26th. 

As Texas is a speed track, the leader, Carl Edwards make quick work of catching Denny. On Lap 132 Edwards knocked the No. 11 team off the lead lap.  Denny would fight the rest of the day in hope of the luck dog position, however, despite his efforts the No. 11 team would finish were they started at seventh.

After Atlanta it looked that the No. 11 team had gotten their second Chase wind. Texas wasn’t the race we expected from the No. 11. However, looking at the positive with a dreadfully handling car, Denny was able to pull off a top twenty finish.

If the No. 11 team can fix the handling problems, look for Denny to move up after Phoenix.
