TIMOTHY PETERS QUOTES:
On Racing at Texas Motor Speedway… “Texas (Motor Speedway) is a track that I haven’t had great results at. Heading there this week is motivation to improve that results column, and I think we can do that with the momentum that we’re carrying from the past few races. We’ve been working hard as a team and things seem to be clicking.”
On The No. 17 Team’s Momentum… “I think our season really turned around at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We earned a solid fourth-place finish there and followed that up with a win at Talladega (Superspeedway) and second-place finish at Martinsville (Speedway). We’re carrying some strong momentum into these last three races of the season, and are prepared to finish strong.”

GERMÁN QUIROGA QUOTES:
On Racing at Texas Motor Speedway… “I’m really excited to race at Texas (Motor Speedway). It’s a special track for me because it’s the place I earned my first top-three finish. We’ve had really fast trucks there and we’ll be racing with a new set-up this weekend so I think we can earn a good finish.”
On an Exciting Race at Martinsville Speedway… “I knew we had a fast Toyota Tundra last weekend and when I got to the front I knew I had to take a chance and make a move for the lead. Unfortunately, the move didn’t play out in our favor but we bounced back to score a top-10 finish. I’m so proud of my entire team for their effort.”
