Quoting Erik Jones: “Nashville is a track where we don’t have as much on track experience as the rest of the Cup Series tracks, but I have gotten the chance to work the simulator and try to learn the track a little more over the past week and I feel confident in what we have. Obviously, things are a little different on track and in the car, but I feel like with the resources we have it gives us the ability to race at tracks that we do not visit too often and transition smoothly to the race. That helps my confidence going into a weekend like this, I hope we can compete and bring home a solid finish for the No. 43 Allegiant team.”
