“Canada is one of those tracks that is all about execution. Over the last few years, my focus has been on minimizing my mistakes to make sure I’m around at the end. If we can get the truck set up where I’m comfortable, then I’m confident I’ll be able to do my part and we’ll come out with a good finish.”

“Canada is the race I’ve been looking forward to the most this year. I started running TransAm a few years ago and it’s something I really enjoy. I’ve always done well on road courses, even coming through K&N (Pro Series East & West). I feel like with my experience we’ll have a good shot at a win this weekend. Our truck is one that Spencer ran well in last year and this is one of the easier courses I’ve run, so I know what I need the truck to do and know the No. 24 team will be on their game.”

Quote
“This is the race I’ve been most excited for all year long. I know we’re going to be competitive there. All you can ask for as a driver is to have a shot at the win and then the rest of it is up to me to make happen. I think we have a really good chance at that. It’s a very technical track because you need to set up, not only going into the corner, but set up for the corner after that ahead of time all while shifting. I’ve done so many road course races though that I think that’s my slight advantage going into this weekend. It’s just second nature for me.”
