Quotes:
“Saying that I am excited for Bristol this weekend is an understatement because I am pumped. Every chance that I get to run a Truck and Xfinity race in one weekend, I am all over it. I fully believe that the more seat time you get, the better. Discipline, experience, and survival at Bristol are crucial because the track is fast, tempers flare, and you have to stay out of trouble to come out on top.”
