Self on Daytona: “I’m having a hard time coming up with words to describe all the emotions of getting here, but I can’t believe it’s actually happening. To have the opportunity to drive the No. 28 Sinclair Oil Toyota Camry at Daytona is one of my proudest moments in racing. I can’t wait to get on track on Thursday to show off the car in practice. I think we’ve done everything we can to prepare properly for this. MDM Motorsports has worked countless hours on the car and Sinclair Oil Corporation has shown a huge commitment getting behind us and pushing their end of the program. When it comes to the race, we need to be smart, work together as a team, and control the things that we can actually control. If we do our best and pay attention to the factors that we can control, I think we have every capability to be in contention at the end.”
