“Charlotte (Motor Speedway) is a tricky track. While it looks like most of the mile-and-a-half tracks we go to, it has its own characteristics. We had a good test there at the beginning of the year that I think we can pull some good notes from and go back there strong. I’m looking forward to getting back there and I have high expectations for a good showing.”

“We’re riding a lot of momentum right now. Kansas wasn’t the best race we’ve had this year; we have some improvement to make, but to still finish in the top-five shows the progress we’ve made this year. I have a lot of confidence in this team, the 21 guys are always on it and know what we need to do to get wins, so maybe we can finally find some success at Charlotte.”

“Charlotte (Motor Speedway) is one of my favorite races of the year, being close to home and having everyone be able to come out and enjoy the race makes it much more exciting. We had a successful test in the winter at the speedway, and improved a lot from last year’s spring race. Our mile-and-a-half program at GMS Racing is coming along strong with all the new trucks we are building, and I’m excited to see where we line-up on the speed charts this week.”
