- From the Drivers Seat: You know your NASCAR history. How cool is it to drive the No. 42? ”It’s such a honor. I’m not sure if people realize that the No. 42 was really made famous by Lee Petty, Richard’s father. He was the originator of the Petty name and was very successful from day one, the start of NASCAR as we know it. I hope to bring honor back to his name and number with a little bit of a modern twist with myself. It’s very exciting for me personally. There have been many drivers of the No. 42, but not many with the stylized No. 42 that is the same as Lee’s. I take it as a honor and hope to carry it to Victory Lane.”

- From the Drivers Seat: What has your relationship with Dave Elenz been like so far? ”Dave is a super smart guy number one, which is big reason why we wanted to go out and get him during the offseason. It’s a pretty long process when you try to hire someone and get them to make a move. Any career move like that is pretty big for a crew chief, but I’m really happy to have him. He’s done a really good job up to this point with the Next Gen car. A lot of times when you get a new crew chief, you don’t get to work with them until Daytona. With the testing we did this off-season, we had the opportunity to work together before Daytona, which has helped with getting our communication going and being on the same page. I’m confident in what we can do together this season.”
