Quote:

“I’ve heard a lot about how challenging Charlotte is to race at, with its unique characteristics and bumps, especially in turns three and four. I have done my homework and research in preparation for Friday’s race, and I’m confident the GMS guys will bring us a fast Carolina Custom number 43 to run up front with. We’ve been really good at every event so far this season, and I believe a win is right around the corner.”
