“I really like flat track racing, and I like short track racing. Loudon is a pretty tough track because it’s really unique. I feel like we had a good run there and we can go back and do the same in our Zest Mustang. We’re going to try out a couple of short track things we learned at Iowa and see if it will apply here.”

"Growing up as a kid and watching my Dad race in Rolla, MO, I never dreamed that I'd have the chance to do what I've done in my life. I've had a long and successful career and I've been able to support my family doing what I love. To me, it doesn't get any better than that.
