Quote:

“We salvaged a solid top-five finish here in the spring, and starting from the pole gave me a lot of confidence at a track that had been kind of hot and cold for me previously. We just have to be smart and run our race. Martinsville is very aggressive track and it’s tough to find that balance between when to push and when to hold back. We’re in an okay spot in the playoff standings, but that cushion we could disappear with one or two bad stages. I hate racing for points, but Trip (Bruce, crew chief) loves it so I’ll rely on him to keep me focused on the big picture throughout the race.”
