James Buescher on driving at Atlanta Motor Speedway
“Atlanta Motor Speedway is a very fast race track with a lot of grip. You can run both the high and low side of the track which makes it a great place to race. It is Exide Batteries headquarters so there is a little added pressure to run well. We are bringing a brand new truck to Atlanta and I think it is going to pay dividends. It has made a couple of trips to the wind tunnel and all the numbers look really good. All The guys on the Exide Batteries team have been working really hard and I am lucky to sit behind the wheel of this truck every week.
