“I can’t believe this season is almost over, but I’m ready to get to Homestead. I’m really hopeful that we can have a strong run and finish out the year on a high note. It would be great to start building some momentum heading into 2015.”
"Homestead-Miami Speedway is a special place to me for a couple different reasons. I made my first career Truck start at this track and I was also able to wrap up the 2012 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Championship at this track. The track leads to some great racing with the multiple-grooves because of the progressive banking. You can run up close to the wall or down next to the line.
"Homestead-Miami Speedway has really turned into one of the best tracks on the circuit. It's aged well, and the different levels of banking just give you a lot of options. You can run right up by the wall, but on restarts you can really make up some ground on the bottom.
"The progressive banking at Homestead is a lot of fun. I remember the first time I went there, it reminded me a lot of Irwindale Speedway, where I raced in California, but obviously bigger. You definitely have options there. You can run all over. And it's another track that each and every year loses grip. That Florida sunshine takes its toll on it.

"Finishing third this past weekend was a great way to build up the momentum and team morale heading into the final race of the season. Even though we didn't win the Championship this year, we still have a mathematical chance to finish in second place. I personally want to finish my last race on a strong note, and I can't think of a better way than bringing home the checkered flag and celebrating in Victory Lane."
