Alan on building momentum in Las Vegas: “I’m very excited to get to Las Vegas with AUTOParkit™ and Niece Motorsports Friday night. It’s a new track for me, which is exciting, but I’m looking forward to the race. We were fast at Daytona and had a good run brewing until the next to last lap when we got wrecked. So I’m looking forward to continuing to show our speed at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.”
