“Our team has really been clicking the last few weeks and I think it shows in our results. There’s always room for improvements but we’ve been consistent and able to carry some good momentum from week to week. I think this week at Chicago there’s going to be multiple lanes that should make for some pretty good racing. Hopefully we can go out and get our first win and lock ourselves into the playoffs.”

I was lucky enough to have some success here last year so I’m looking forward to going out and competing for our second win of the season.”
