NASCAR O'Reilly Series

CHASE BRISCOE, No. 98 Nutri Chomps Ford Mustang – VICTORY LANE INTERVIEW -- “It’s pretty special. Winning really two of the most different races we have all year between Eldora and the Roval. Honestly, they had a lot of similarities because we didn’t have very much grip. I found myself a lot of time not even getting over half-throttle, just trying to keep the tires hooked up. Honestly, I can’t believe it. We were so far off in practice. The car was great. The driver was not. I watched a lot of video, a lot of on board stuff trying to get better overnight. It seemed like everyday we came back we’d pick up a second and I knew when we got in the race and I got around guys I could see more of what they were doing and where they were beating me. That was really the biggest key there is just getting around other cars and seeing what they were doing different.”

News and notes: After a mechanical issue last weekend in Richmond, Boyd is ready to test his skills at the first annual running of the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval. Boyd will sport special colors on his Grunt Style Chevy this weekend with pink- camouflage in support of breast cancer survivor Liz Alarik. “I honestly have no idea what to expect this weekend. I don't think anyone does,” says Boyd. "It's just so different than anything I've ever raced on. I think the key is going to be just racing the track. If we can do that, I think we have an opportunity to bring home a really good result."

Elliott Sadler sits fifth in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoff standings with two events before the cutoff for the Round of 8. Currently, the Virginia native is 39 points outside of the lead and 16 points above the cutline.

Majeski on the Roval - “I don’t think anyone really knows what to expect. Judging by the test I think it’s going to be at matter of survival and I think everyone is going in with that mentality. It will be interesting to see how it plays out."

Gallagher and the No. 23 team will utilize chassis no. 214. This chassis has been raced twice this year at Watkins Glen International by A.J. Allmendinger (start: 4th/finish: 2nd) and at Road America by NASCAR Hall of Famer, Bill Elliott (Start: 23rd/Finish: 20th).

Reed on The Roval “I think right now my mindset is survive. I don’t know what to expect. I watched the Cup cars when they were out there. I think there is an opportunity to be a really fast car and I think we are going to have really good equipment, but it is so easy to step over that line and wreck because the track is going to be so tricky."

Camry driver Christopher Bell was victorious in the NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) race at Richmond Raceway on Friday night.
