TY DILLON QUOTES:
What are your goals for this race?
“Last season, I thought we had a really good race car here. We raced inside the top 10 and I felt really comfortable with the car. Unfortunately, we finished 14th because the race was rain-shortened. This season, I fully expect our team to do everything we did last season and more. My goals are to run inside the top 10 and finish inside the top 15. We have a great advantage every time we come to race tracks like this; our ECR Engines have a ton of power to get us around the track. I enjoy racing here and hope to bring home a solid finish for this 95 team.”
