“I always look forward to Ford Championship weekend. We have really been working hard on our intermediate program. The No. 6 team tested at Homestead a couple of weeks ago and thought they learned some things that should make our Fords stronger this weekend. Our goal is to have a solid race and hopefully finish 11th in the points and carry that momentum into the off-season.”
"This will be my first time in an XFINITY car at Homestead-Miami Speedway. I have ran a total of four truck races at the mile-and-a-half so hopefully those previous starts will help me get acclimated in a car there. Our goal this weekend is to finish out the season on a high note. This No. 23 team has worked their tails off this year and they deserve to end this season with a solid finish."
JR Motorsports today named veteran car chief Billy Wilburn as crew chief of the No. 7 BRANDT Professional Agriculture team for this Saturday’s season finale at Homestead-Miami (Fla.) Speedway as driver Justin Allgaier vies for the NASCAR Xfinity Series title.
“I love Homestead-Miami Speedway. I’ve only ever tested there, but when we went there in the summer to test, I ran 200 laps right on the rim. That was probably the most fun I’ve had in a truck all year, except for maybe at Eldora (Speedway) and the road course. I know with the temperature change, from the test until now, it’s going to be a whole different track, but I’m hoping it will be equally as fun. We have a good baseline to go off from the test though and I’m really looking forward to this race.”
