DANIEL SUÁREZ, No. 19 ARRIS Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - What’s it like to be part of fan events? “It’s very cool because, I think to have some good interaction with all the fans a little bit outside of the race track, I think that is something good. Sometimes you can start to know the personality in a different way. I think it’s going to be fun. Donald (Edwards, PR rep) told me about this a few days ago and I am excited about it. I like this place a lot, I like the mountains and the fans are great. I had the opportunity to interact with a few fans here and they are actually waiting for us to come back. It’s a great place and I’m looking forward to coming back later in the year and enjoy this fan fest.”
