RHODES READY FOR ATLANTA

HAMPTON, Ga. – Harrison Rhodes has pressed the reset button for Saturday’s Hisense 250 Xfinity Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Through no fault of his own, Rhodes failed to qualify for last week’s season-opener at Daytona International Speedway. Rhodes was an innocent victim of a crash during qualifying and didn’t make the starting field.

So he’s more than ready to roll this week at AMS.

“Obviously, Daytona was disappointing,” Rhodes said. “You wait all off-season to get cranked up for the first race and then there’s disappointment. But what you do is move on to the next one, and we’re ready to go for Atlanta.”

The 250 will be Rhodes’ first run in the JD Motorsports with Gary Keller No. 0 Chevrolet.

Practice for the race is scheduled at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Friday. Qualifying is set for 9:10 a.m. Saturday, to be followed by the race at 2 p.m.
