DRIVER MICHAEL MCDOWELL:
“There’s definitely no shortage of challenges at Bristol, and everything is amplified under the lights. It brings an entirely different atmosphere to the track. Our team has improved every weekend, and we are close to breaking through, and taking that next step up in performance with our Love’s/Peak Ford Mustang Dark Horse.”
CREW CHIEF TRAVIS PETERSON:
“The Bristol night race is one of my favorite events every year. We ran really well last fall in this race and hopefully this time it goes more like that than the spring race this year with the tires. We built some momentum with a strong run at Watkins Glen and hopefully we can stay in the Top-10 again all race and be there when it counts.”
