Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Atlanta:
“Atlanta has been a good track for us in the past. There are a lot of unknowns coming into this weekend with the new package. The No. 6 team tested Vegas and felt like they learned some things. Weather might be a factor this weekend so hopefully we will be able to get on track and fine tune our Mustang before the race Sunday. We had a really good points weekend last weekend so we are looking for another solid points day in Atlanta.”
