Marshall Pruett gives us a close-up look at tweaks on tap for this weekend’s XPEL 375 at Texas Motor Speedway.

The first video looks at the current state of the racing line and efforts to reduce the impact of the PJ1-treated surface:

It’s another #MPShowMe with the help of @DHTMSPR to show you the current state of the bottom lane and PJ1-affected upper lane and the progress #IndyCar has made in scraping the material off the surface ahead of Sunday’s #XPEL375 @RACERmag @PPfanner @TXMotorSpeedway pic.twitter.com/rwvehYCIc2
