Quotes:

“I really enjoyed Chicago when I raced in the Truck Series. It’s a special track in my book because I claimed my first Truck win there back in 2015 and I have led a lot of laps there in the past. This will be my first Xfinity start but I feel like Chicago has been a good place for myself and hopefully that will roll over into the Xfinity Series. The track itself has a lot of characteristics to it, which always makes for great racing. I am looking forward to getting this No. 23 on track and hopefully unload with speed off the hauler.”
