Driver Quote:
Alex Tagliani
“I’m pretty anxious to get on track at the Milwaukee Mile. I love this track. I’ve been on the pole here in the past so hopefully we will be strong. The Team Barracuda – BHA crew has been working really hard and the pole at Texas was proof of that. I’ve got faith in the boys so I think we can get another great result and continue our climb towards the championship.”
