“I’m excited to go back to Dover. I feel like we found some good speed during the second half of the race when we were there in June. It was probably one of our best races in the first half of the season, so I’m really looking forward to going back and picking up where we left off. We just missed a Top-15 finish, but this time we’re looking for a Top-10. This weekend, we have WinField’s parent company, Land O’ Lakes, on the car, so we’ll want to show them what we’re capable of.”
