McLaughlin on Racing at Eldora: “I can’t wait to get in the truck and get on track this week at Eldora Speedway,” said McLaughlin. “We had a really productive test at Wytheville earlier this month, and I’ve been itching to get back in the truck since then. I’ve spent a lot of time in the shop working on this truck. I can’t thank Al Niece and everyone at Niece Motorsports enough for allowing me this opportunity. I’m really looking forward to making the most of it.”
