QUOTES
Stenhouse, Jr. on racing at Kansas Speedway:
“We don’t know what to expect at Kansas since the repave. I anticipate the track will be smooth and fast. We have numerous practice sessions to get a better feel of the track and get our No. 6 Sam’s Club Ford Mustang dialed in. We need to have a strong top-five run this weekend. I’m confident in my team going into the final four races. We are only 13 points out of the championship lead. We will keep chipping away at that deficit each week to regain the points’ lead.”
Crew chief Mike Kelley on racing at Kansas Speedway:
“There is a lot of uncertainty going into Kansas due to the repave. Right now we don’t know how many grooves there will be. Our 1.5-mile program has been strong this year so I look for a similar outcome at Kansas. We have four races remaining which need to be our strongest four races this season. If we can execute on pit-road, I feel confident we will have a strong finish in our No. 6 Sam’s Club Ford.”
