Quotes:

“I feel really good about Bristol this weekend. This track takes a lot of mental and physical endurance and I know a lot of drivers, including myself, work really hard outside the race car to make sure that our bodies are prepared for the intense race at Bristol. I have run really well there in the past and I feel like there is a lot I can take away from that running multiple Truck Series races there and then the Xfinity race last year. We just have to continue to step up our game, myself as a driver and our equipment as a team and strive to keep running in the top-five and put us in position to win.This is one of my favorite short-tracks on the NASCAR schedule and GMS ran really well there last year with Spencer (Gallagher) in the spring and then Chase (Elliott) in the Fall. Hopefully we can execute this weekend and get GMS and Maury in Victory Lane.”
