On the Martinsville Speedway:

“I am pumped to get back to short-track racing. With how the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at Circuit of the
Americas ended, it will be interesting to see how competitors race each other at The Paperclip. Getting out of the Martinsville
Speedway with a semi-clean Chevrolet Silverado will be the key for keeping the momentum going into next week at Bristol
(Motor Speedway).”
