Jason White on Iowa: “Iowa is a very unique track and one that can be challenging for both the driver and the crew. The handling of your truck needs to be just right at Iowa or you will struggle a little bit all night in the race. In our first race at the track earlier this year, we battled that handling a little bit as we just couldn’t get that right balance we needed on our truck. That resulted in us having to battle all night and really fight for everything we could get.”

RAM DRIVER QUOTES “I’ve been to Iowa a few times the last couple years with the K&N and Nationwide cars. I’ve got a good idea about that racetrack and I really like it. It’s an awesome facility and the racing is always really good there. I think it’s a neat track to go back to and I’m really looking forward to it. Hopefully, we can run well in our Cooper Standard RAM. Luckily, we have a night practice on Friday so we can do all our race runs there and get a good idea of what it’ll do at night. Then we have another practice Saturday for qualifying stuff. I think we’ve got a good head start.” -- Ryan Blaney
