On the Kansas Speedway:
“I am upset our Brandonbilt Motorsports team was not able to finish and complete all the laps contested at the Darlington Raceway last weekend to be able to continue building on and gain experience for the end of the season. Nevertheless, I am excited to go to Kansas Speedway, a 1.5-mile track. At this point it is all about learning and we have all been working together on the Kansas Speedway package hard to get to where we want it to be.”
