“I’m pumped to go to Gateway. It’s where I made my first truck start with Bono. We had a top five then and the goal is to replicate that this year and compete for a win. We’ve got two wins, but still want to try to capitalize on stage points and go after another win to help our position once playoffs start. Capturing that extra $100,000 in the last round of the Trip to go with our win from Dover would be pretty sweet.”

Hopefully this week is the week we break through and get that first win. There’s still $50,000 on the line and a chance to lock ourselves into playoffs, so this is the perfect time to do it.”
