Metaphorically speaking, it's a long way from the Naval Academy and the gridiron to Daytona; but it's exactly how Carrollton, Texas' Jesse Iwuji got here. The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards rookie made his first laps at Daytona Int'l Speedway last weekend in preparation for the Lucas Oil 200 Driven by General Tire coming Saturday, Feb. 10.

MARTIN TRUEX JR., No. 78 Bass Pro Shops/5-Hour ENERGY Toyota Camry, Furniture Row Racing - What do you think of where Ryan Truex is now? “I'm very optimistic about it, as he is. I think it's a great opportunity for him. Last year did a lot for, I feel like, his ‑‑ what people see in him as a driver, as a personality as a driver. He's grown a lot over the years, and I think for a while he was kind of cast aside because everybody always thought he was really quiet and he's really reserved and it was hard to get him to say anything."

JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Ford Fusion – HOW IS THE EXPANSION AT TEAM PENSKE GOING? “We are not going to grow without being ready and having the right mix of people to do that and everything in the right place. Right drivers, right sponsors, right crew. It all has to be in the right place for Roger to do what he is doing right now. I think adding Blaney as a third team I think will be a great decision. I think Paul in the 21 will be a good addition to our team as well with the alliance we have with the Wood Brothers. As close as well all work together I look at that as a teammate anyway because we work so close together. I think a lot of good things will come from that.”

BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Ford Fusion – ARE THE PENSKE GAMES GOING TO BE PART OF THE 2018 SEASON? “Yes, in fact I filmed it yesterday. All day. For about 10 hours. We are trying to have some fun. I was telling another group earlier that sometimes we have been accused at Penske of putting the F.U. in fun. This year we are trying a little harder.”

PAUL MENARD, No. 21 Ford Fusion – HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE LIST OF DRIVERS THAT HAVE DRIVEN THE 21? “Yeah, it is long. It hit me pretty hard probably three weeks ago when Eddie and Len were on this group text thing and they sent me a picture of the show car they had just finished with my name above the door. That was like, ‘Okay, it is happening.’ It was really cool. I am really looking forward to running the 21 car, and to start at Daytona of all places. Just super excited and can’t wait to get on the track in that car. It is a long list of names, names that are historic and a huge part of the sport. It is really special.”
