DRIVER MICHAEL MCDOWELL:

“Kansas has been better for us lately, especially with our Top-10 in the spring and the consistent qualifying efforts we’ve had. Given the different track conditions there, we know what changes to make in order to capitalize on a great finish. It’s a challenging track, but we’ll work hard to be ready with our Horizon Hobby Ford Mustang Dark Horse.”

CREW CHIEF TRAVIS PETERSON:

“We want to improve on our Top-10 finish in the spring. We’ve run well at all these different tracks, but are making gains with our mile and a half program. I think with the good practice and qualifying efforts we’ve had this season, we definitely have the speed to run up front this weekend.”
