"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."
