The race weekend started well as I was fastest straight out of the box in practise with a time of 33.808 after the mandatory 10 laps.
I was a tad slower in qualifying but still managed to claim pole position with a time of 33.832.
The 67 lap race was a success for me. In most previous races at Texas I'd been leading the race but had run out of fuel very close to the end with my opposition making it to the end. With the 5% increase in race length I was sure everyone would have to pit.
With this in mind I led for the first 40 laps and then decided to pit for fresh tyres and fuel. I rejoined dead last but quickly began to make my way through the pack. My strategy was playing out well until I caused a yellow 20 laps from the end by hitting a car slowing to enter the pit lane.
With just under 20 laps to go I managed to pass the 7 remaining cars in front of me to record another win.
My best lap of the race was a 33.700 which was my fastest of the race weekend.
I was 1st in the standings, 33 points ahead.
