Connor Mosack Quote
IRP is one of the more technical short tracks on the schedule. From a tactical standpoint, how do you approach the racetrack?
“I like IRP because you have a lot of options to make speed and it’s a wide racetrack that allows you to run from the wall all the way down to the grass on the apron. We had really strong, long-run speed there last year, so hopefully we can back that up this weekend.”

Nick Sanchez Quote
This is your first CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race with Spire Motorsports this season. How quickly do you expect to get comfortable with the team and what are your expectations for the weekend?
“The CRAFTSMAN Truck Series is always quite a bit different than the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and that’s where I’ve spent the bulk of my time over the last year-and-a-half. I think the biggest thing that is going to help is it’s my old team from 2023 and 2024 when I ran in the Truck Series. I’ll see a lot of familiar faces, and I think just understanding how they set up the trucks and what their goals are, it should be easy to acclimate quickly.”
