“I think as a team we thought we’d have a few more wins at this point in the season. That’s not saying we haven’t run well, because this group has done a great job of steadily improving and learning with each race. We’ll do the same this weekend and hope we get a win out of it before we move on to The Playoffs and make a run like we did last year.”

“I’m really looking forward to getting on track in Chicago. Our intermediate track performance has been really strong; I think we’ve only finished outside the top 10 once this year on the mile-and-a-half tracks. This is our last shot at making The Playoffs and I know that this team can make it happen. We just need to put a whole race together and be there at the end.”

“Chicagoland (Speedway) is a different kind of place, it’s certainly not a cookie cutter mile-and-a-half track. Those types of tracks though are ones that I’ve needed to work on this year for sure. It’s something I had never done before this season. Going into the Playoffs we have three mile-and-a-half tracks, so we really need to make sure that I’m strong and that we have a strong setup for those races. I’m looking forward to Chicagoland (Speedway) as an opportunity to solidify what we’ve been able to accomplish so far this year and to have some momentum heading into the Playoffs.”
