Quoting driver Scott Riggs
On Daytona…
Daytona is such a great track. The first time I raced here was in the trucks. I’m excited to be heading back there to be a part of kicking off the biggest weekend in our sport.
I’m extremely thankful for the opportunity that Ricky (Benton) and Black’s Tire have given me. They have some great equipment and I can’t wait to get on track and show everyone what we’ve got.
Quoting crew chief Mike Hester
On the team’s offseason work…
These guys have put in tons of hours on these trucks this offseason. We have made some big strides with our program and, with Scott behind the wheel, I think we’ll make a good show of it in Daytona.
