TY DILLON QUOTES:
What are your goals for this race?
“The biggest and most glaring task will be to learn how the new track surface races. I’m also looking to gain more experience in the Sprint Cup Series on 1.5-mile race tracks and with this new low downforce package. At Atlanta (Motor Speedway) and Texas (Motor Speedway) I gained some valuable experience on 1.5-mile race tracks and learned more about the new package, with two different teams. This weekend, I’m hoping to finish on the lead lap and inside the top 15. I’ll lean on my teammates this weekend to debrief and learn more about how I can get better.”
