Crew chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway: “David runs well at Bristol and has a Nationwide win there. In the spring, we were really fast in practice, but they changed the tire compound for race day which we overcame and still had a decent run. We are looking forward to gaining on some of the momentum we gained at Michigan in order to try and make the Chase.”
