Ray Black Jr. Pre-Race Quote:
“We’ve had two solid weekends so far in 2020 and I’m hoping for more of the same this weekend at Auto Club Speedway.

Joe Graf Jr. Pre-Race Quote:
“I’m very optimistic about Auto Club Speedway this weekend. It’s another new track for me, but I’ve spent a lot of time in the simulator as well as iRacing and even studying previous races on film to get myself better prepared for this weekend.
“The track reminds me of Michigan International Speedway, a place I’ve had success in the ARCA Menards Series, so I’m hoping we can have another solid finish on Saturday and ride that momentum to Phoenix.”
