Quote:
“I’m super excited to work with Jeff (Stankiewicz, crew chief) again. We had a lot of success last year and always seemed to be on the same page. We go along great and I’m pumped to see what we can do the rest of the season together. I have some strong finishes at Pocono in ARCA and I’m ready to go out there and see what we can do this weekend. Only a few races left before the playoffs start, so the pressure is on.”

Quote:
“I really enjoy racing at Pocono. It says everything in the nickname, it’s a tricky track, I’ve had some success there in the past. Three different corners means finding the balance is crucial, but it’s challenging. With the PJ1 there as long as we can race side by side it’ll be pretty racy. Hopefully we can go out there and find the balance right off the bat and be the first to three wins and get that boost going into the playoffs.”
