As Sunday, April 5 draws near, racing excitement can be felt at Interstate Batteries corporate office, located just 35 miles west of the almost 12-year-old Texas Motor Speedway track.

Help us cheer on No. 18 driving sensation Kyle Busch as he heats up the track in Interstate green — a color you’ll likely see around town as you head into Interstate Batteries territory.
