That’s What He Said…Quoting Jason White:
“The mindset for me this weekend is one more, one more shot at a win. This is the last race of the season and I would like nothing more to go out on top and bring home my first NASCAR win; for myself, for my longtime sponsor, GunBroker.com and for my owner, Joe Denette. It’s been an up and down year, we have learned a lot and had some good runs, but at the end of the day, we haven’t won and to me that is how you judge the success of a season. We have been in contention a few times but something has always happened and we haven’t been able to capitalize. I want nothing more than to go to victory lane Friday night.”
“Homestead allows for great side by side racing because of it having so many grooves. As the track has aged, it’s been losing grip which makes the racing that much more exciting.”
