This No. 1 team has given me super-fast race cars all year long and I am looking to continue that speed at Loudon. We have certainly struggled here in the past but we’re hoping to turn that luck around this weekend and tackle a solid finish at The Magic Mile with our No. 1 10X Health Chevrolet Camaro.”

“New Hampshire races like a big short track with the long straightaways, tight turns and just how flat the track is overall. It’s a tough place to get around but Phillip (Bell, crew chief) and I have been working hard to make sure we are prepared. This No. 9 team has been building some fast cars and the results haven’t shown that, so we’re due for a good run and hopefully that starts this weekend.”
