Ryan Ellis Quoteboard:
On Sonoma Raceway: “Sonoma is a fun challenge and one of the most unique tracks we visit all season. Road course racing always puts an emphasis on execution, and that’s something our team has continued to improve on.
“We’ve had some speed lately, so hopefully we can put together a complete weekend and come away with a result that reflects the effort everyone at Young’s Motorsports is putting in.”
On Keys to Success at Sonoma Raceway: “Sonoma is all about execution. You have to be disciplined in the braking zones, take care of your tires and avoid making mistakes because they can be really costly there.
“Track position is always important, but so is staying on top of adjustments throughout the weekend. If we can maximize our speed, keep the fenders on it and put ourselves in the right spot late in the race, I think we’ll have a solid opportunity to put together a good result.”
On Goals for Sonoma Raceway: “The goal every weekend is to maximize what we’ve got and come away with the best finish possible. We’ve had some strong runs recently that were interrupted by things outside of our control, so hopefully Sonoma gives us the chance to put together a clean race, stay on the lead lap and show what this No. 02 team is capable of.”
On the Continued Partnership with Sweetwater Construction at Sonoma Raceway: “It’s great to have Sweetwater Construction back with us at Sonoma Raceway.
“Partnerships like this are what make it possible for us to compete each weekend, and we’re grateful for their continued support of our team.
“We’re looking forward to another opportunity to showcase their brand and hopefully put together a strong run for everyone involved.”
On Being Part of a Historic Weekend at Naval Base Coronado: “It was a privilege to be part of such a historic weekend at Naval Base Coronado. The atmosphere was unlike anything we’ve experienced, and you could really feel the significance of celebrating the Navy’s 250th birthday.
“Even though our race didn’t end the way we hoped, it’s something I’ll always be proud to have been part of, and I think everyone involved helped make it a memorable event for NASCAR.”
On Goals for Reminder of 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Season: “Our goals for the remainder of the season are pretty straightforward.
“We want to continue building on the speed we’ve shown recently, execute more consistently, and put ourselves in a position to capitalize on opportunities when they come. We’ve had several races where our speed has been better than the final result, so the focus now is on turning that potential into finishes.
“Everyone at Young’s Motorsports has continued to work hard and make improvements throughout the year, and if we can keep qualifying well, stay out of trouble and execute throughout the race, I believe we can close out the season with some of our strongest performances of the year and earn results that truly reflect the effort that’s gone into this program.”
