Boyd will sport special colors on his Grunt Style Chevy this weekend with pink- camouflage in support of breast cancer survivor Liz Alarik. “I honestly have no idea what to expect this weekend.

If we can do that, I think we have an opportunity to bring home a really good result."

The Grunt Style No. 76 Camaro will carry the name Liz Alarik on its passenger door at the Drive for the Cure 200 as the NASCAR Xfinity Series makes history as the first NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway’s road course.

Chase Elliott on racing to advance in the playoffs at Charlotte: “Yeah, it’s not the ideal situation, for sure. I think that survival will be key there and hoping that you can just not crash by yourself. I mean, heck, I spun out a couple of times by myself and a lot of guys have gone off track not even racing anybody. Just lining up and getting in line and making laps and trying to be solid. I don’t know, we will see where we stack up pace-wise when we get there and then we can adjust how we want to approach the race.”
