Quote
“I am pumped to get back behind the wheel of the No. 23 Allegiant Chevrolet Camaro at Charlotte (Motor Speedway). I have raced there in the XFINITY Series twice now and haven’t done the best but we look to turn that around. We had a really great test a couple weeks ago and we took away some informative data and analysis from the session. I am going into this weekend with high hopes of bringing home a strong finish.”

Quote
“I am really excited about running my first [NASCAR] XFINITY race at Charlotte (Motor Speedway) with GMS Racing and the No. 96 crew. Even though it’s my first race at the 1.5-mile track, I am confident going into this weekend after we had a really strong test session a few weeks ago. Jacob Companies has been a long time supporter of mine and having them on the car is a privilege, to say the least. I hope we have a good weekend and put on a strong showing for Jacob Companies and the fans.”
