Chase Elliott on racing to advance in the playoffs at Charlotte: “Yeah, it’s not the ideal situation, for sure. I think that survival will be key there and hoping that you can just not crash by yourself. I mean, heck, I spun out a couple of times by myself and a lot of guys have gone off track not even racing anybody. Just lining up and getting in line and making laps and trying to be solid. I don’t know, we will see where we stack up pace-wise when we get there and then we can adjust how we want to approach the race.”

RFR has a combined nine road course wins in the two series, looking to conquer the one in its own backyard this weekend.

Stenhouse Jr. on racing at the ROVAL - “There are definitely a lot of unknowns heading into this weekend since this is the first time we have ever raced this configuration at Charlotte. We tested the new course back in July, and we learned some things. We saw a lot of cars spin as well, it’s so easy to step over that fine line and get in trouble. I think it’s going to be a wild race for the fans. I think it is going to come down to being there at the end. When we start on Sunday, it will be the first time all 40 cars are on the track at once so it will definitely be exciting.”
