Quotes:

“The biggest take away from last years Texas race would be making sure to focus on your balance in Turns 1 and 2. The faster you can get back to the gas on that corner the better you will be since you have so much on throttle time. Turns 3 and 4 is a pretty easy corner compared to (Turns) 1 and 2. I feel like if your car can handle (Turns) 1 and 2 then you will be decent in the other corner. All in all you need to make sure that your car is able to cut and you can get back on throttle as soon as you can. ROMCO will be on board with me this weekend and I am really excited about representing their colors and brand at their hometown track. They have been a supporter of my Dad and I’s career for a long time so getting them in Victory Lane this weekend would be really special to me.”
