QUOTE WORTHY

Wallace on racing at Daytona:
“Daytona is intense. Racing three-wide, bumper-to-bumper can definitely keep you on your toes. We haven’t really had the best of luck there in years past, but I’m confident that we will have a fast No. 6 Leidos Ford Mustang this weekend that can run up front and contend for the win. I’m really looking forward to getting this season going and showing what we can do.”
