QUOTE WORTHY
Josh Berry, driver of the No. 25 Rackley Roofing Chevrolet Silverado for Rackley W.A.R.
“This weekend at the Nashville Superspeedway is going to be exciting for Rackley W.A.R. and Rackley Roofing, racing in their hometown. We had a great run at the Texas Motor Speedway, and we are going to do our best to continue to build on that momentum and bring home another solid finish in the Rackley Roofing 200.”
William Byron, driver of the No. 27 Cruisin Sports / Rackley Roofing Chevrolet Silverado for Rackley W.A.R.
“I am excited to get back in a truck this weekend at Nashville Superspeedway. It’s been a while since I have been in one, but thankfully there is practice to get readjusted, especially at a track I don’t know. That’s going to be the biggest thing about racing at Nashville – no one knows what to expect. Even those that have raced there before, it has been so long since then, and so many things have changed. I think that while it’s labeled a ‘superspeedway,’ it’s going to race closer to running Dover (International Speedway) because of the tight corners and the concrete surface. There are still a lot of unknowns though.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to race with Rackley W.A.R. This weekend, I am looking to win two guitars and that starts
with the Rackley Roofing 200 on Friday night.”
