Will Kimmel on Kentucky:
“I’m definitely really excited to get behind the wheel of the No.32 Ford for Go Green Racing this weekend. I’m really looking forward to getting on track Wednesday for the test, and get the extra seat time, which will only help us going into Saturday night. My goal for the weekend is to complete as many laps as possible, and I cant thank Archie and Mason enough for giving me the opportunity this weekend.”
