Thompson on making his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Debut at Charlotte: “Our No. 40 Worldwide Express team is ready to bounce back and put together a strong run following a tough couple weeks recently. We’ve put it in the rearview mirror and our team has put a lot of effort into getting ready to take on Charlotte Friday night. I am confident we will return to performing at the level that will bring our Chevrolet Silverado back to a good spot this week.”
