QUOTES
Stenhouse, Jr. on racing at Iowa Speedway:
“I look forward to going back to Iowa Speedway. As soon you get to the track, you can feel the high energy of the fans. Iowa is a driver’s racetrack. It would be awesome to win three races in a row at a single track. Roush Fenway has strong short and intermediate track programs and Iowa Speedway has similar qualities of both types of tracks. We feel confident that we will have another strong run in our Cargill Beef Ford.”
Crew chief Mike Kelley on racing at Iowa Speedway:
“Iowa is a short track but has speeds of an intermediate track. Last year we swept both races. The track will change as the race progresses so we will keep adjusting on our No. 6 Cargill Beef Ford to get it perfect for the end. Our main goal is to get a strong finish and hold on to our points lead.”
