DRIVER MICHAEL MCDOWELL:
“The ROVAL is one of my favorite races of the year. We haven’t had the best results there in the past, but I’m glad that there are some changes to the course. Anytime we get to race on a road course, it’s an opportunity again to try to go there and win. I am confident that the team and I can put together a solid run this weekend, especially with how we have been doing on road courses this season. I’m looking forward to it with our Love’s Travel Stops Ford Mustang Dark Horse.”
CREW CHIEF TRAVIS PETERSON:
“The Roval is super challenging because it’s not a typical road course. It’s a technical and tight layout especially with the changes they made. But it’s going to be a fun weekend because we’re always a threat on road courses. I have all the confidence in the world that this group can put together a great car for Michael.”
