QUOTES
Stenhouse, Jr. on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway:
“Racing at Atlanta is a lot of fun especially at night. The track is fast, it is rough which can be tough on your tires so we will have to keep a watchful eye on that. I like it because you run up high against the wall. Our No. 6 team is pumped going into Atlanta due to our success this year on 1.5-mile tracks. We have Cargill Beef back on our Ford so it would great to get them back into victory lane.”
Crew chief Mike Kelley on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway:
“Atlanta is a unique 1.5-mile track. Last year, we had some tire issues so we will have to pay close attention to our tire wear in practice and during the race. This track really suits Ricky’s driving style because you run up high in close proximity to the wall. I feel confident that we will have a strong showing in our No. 6 Cargill Beef Ford.”
