No. 34 Long John Silver’s Ford Mustang Dark Horse:
DRIVER MICHAEL MCDOWELL:
“We just need to continue to execute properly and keep showing the speed with our Ford Mustang Dark Horse. There is a lot of potential with this group, and everyone is working hard. We will see the top-10 and top-five finishes come to us if we keep it up.”
CREW CHIEF TRAVIS PETERSON:
“We have a totally different attitude towards the short tracks this year with the new Mustang. We’ve made a lot of great gains and it has shown. I think we need a little more speed, but I think we can compete in the top-10 again and have a good day. Michael and everyone on the team are doing a good job and these better finishes will come to us.”
