QUOTES
Stenhouse, Jr. on racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway:
“Homestead is one of my favorite places to go so I am looking forward to it. Last week we were able to gain some points in the Driver’s Championship so we can be more aggressive this week. I am confident that we can get this No. 6 Blackwell Angus Ford back in Victory Lane and hopefully leave Homestead as the NASCAR Nationwide Champion.”
Crew chief Mike Kelley on racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway:
“Ricky finished fourth in his only start at Homestead last year. We have had a lot of success at intermediate tracks this year including two wins at Iowa. Our No.6 team has done a superior job all year. We have some cushion in the Driver’s Championship so I think we can get a little more aggressive on restarts this week. Our main goal is to get this No. 6 Blackwell Angus Ford in Victory lane for the final race of the year.”
