DRIVER MICHAEL MCDOWELL:
“I’m excited to be back behind the wheel. The break was nice, but we still have a lot of work to do. There are only a few races left before the playoffs, but I’m confident for us to get the win and lock ourselves in. We’re looking to gain some momentum here at Richmond and these final stretch of regular season races.”
CREW CHIEF TRAVIS PETERSON:
“We just have a totally different attitude towards the short tracks this year, especially coming out of the two-week break. 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. Right now, every lap is important for us to have a good finish.”
