Quote
“It’s been a busy week for the WMI team preparing the cars for this weekend. However once again the entire group did a very good job to have everything in top shape, ready to go. Mark Dilley has three top-ten finishes at CTMP, we’re looking for that kind of consistency. The points battles are really tight so it’s up to our group to get as many points as we can this weekend”. -David Wight, WMI Principal
