"Iowa Speedway is a track our team has been solid at throughout my career. In my NASCAR K&N Pro Series career we've run up front every race and with the success our JJL Motorsports NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team had at Dover (top-5 qualifying, 14th place finish) we're on top of our game right now. It's great to see the gains we're making in the Truck Series and Iowa gives us another opportunity to show what this team is capable of accomplishing. We're bringing the same truck we ran at Dover and with backing from Triad CNC and SouthMark Properties we're going to aim for another strong qualifying run and go after our first top-5 finish in the series."

Technical track: “Sonoma is a real technical racetrack,” Allmendinger said. “It’s like a short track. You are beating and banging on each other. You can make passes there. The tires go away quick, but if you can conserve the tires better you can make passes. It’s a challenging racetrack. The strategy has got you wondering when that last yellow is going to fall. If that yellow falls, do you pit, do you not pit?
