"and Mark Fredde gave the command for drivers to start their engines." You need to explain who Mark Fredde is.

"Johnson was happy with the result, saying, "It was nice to get our car up front and get some clean air on it. We had to work really hard all day long to keep the car right. I'm very proud of the team." "Jeff Gordon was delighted with his victory: "Incredible team effort. This whole year has been amazing. What a great car. I've never had a car like this at Texas. We finally had one and put it in position." I would suggest swapping these two sentences around.
