> BRIAN SCOTT QUOTE:

> After the speed you had at Daytona, you have to be looking forward to Talladega Superspeedway? And doing double duty too?

> “I am looking forward to doing double duty on the superspeedways again. That was a lot of fun getting to run the Daytona 500 and also the race we had in the Nationwide Series. We ran towards the front most of the time in the Nationwide Series. We felt really good about our Camaro, we just got hung out towards the end and fell to the back. Unfortunately, the track position lost became insurmountable because there were really only two grooves. We never got a third groove going, so hopefully we don’t lose track position at Talladega. Love them or hate them, with the luck involved in superspeedway racing, you always feel like you have as good a shot as anybody.”
