PAUL MENARD, No. 12 Menards/Richmond Ford Mustang – WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HARRISON BURTON? “He was mad. He hit me twice. I hit him once. I guess he’s mad at me for hitting him that one time. I was mad at him for hitting me twice before that, so that’s the way it goes.”

“You just have to have a really good race car, man. That’s something that I’m very fortunate with driving for Joe Gibbs Racing. We’ve had a lot of success on the short tracks here recently. I think Joe Gibbs Racing has a great short track package. I’m excited to see what we have here at Loudon.”

Junior Johnson, Midnight Moon and GMS Racing announced today a sponsorship of the No. 24 Chevrolet Silverado of reigning NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series (NGOTS) champion Brett Moffitt and the XFINITY Series No. 23 Chevrolet Camaro of John Hunter Nemecheck for the upcoming races at Bristol Motor Speedway on August 15-16.

“We’re coming off a Top-10 finish at Kentucky after some damage, but we’re headed to Loudon – New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend. It’s another short track. We had a lot of speed at the last short track we went to, so I am looking forward to going to this track. It races like a short track! I haven’t been there in a few years, since the trucks don’t race there anymore"

Michael Annett enters New Hampshire Motor Speedway having earned seven top-10 finishes in his last eight starts, with three top-five runs in the last five outings.

John Hunter Nemechek and GMS Racing will utilize chassis no. 219 this weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. This chassis has been ran once this season by Nemechek at Bristol Motor Speedway (start: 10th/finish: 5th).

“We just came off a career weekend at Daytona! We had a 1-2-3 finish across the line with Ross Chastain getting Matt Kaulig’s first win. This weekend we are going to Kentucky. Blake Koch just told me that I am the only driver that has Top-10s at every mile-and-a-half track. We’re going to this new repave mile-and-a-half where I’ve had success in the truck series, so we’re looking for another Top-5 after last weekend.”

Michael Annett enters the race at Kentucky Speedway on a run of six top-10 finishes in his last seven starts, with a pair of third-place efforts his best among them.

John Hunter Nemechek and GMS Racing will utilize chassis no. 223 this weekend at Kentucky Speedway. This chassis has been ran twice this season by Nemechek, once at Charlotte Motor Speedway (start: 14th/finish: 12th) and at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (start: 10th/finish: 2nd).

Ryan Truex will ride into Kentucky Speedway this weekend with a fresh car design. JR Motorsports and the No. 8 team have joined forces with MULTI-PLATINUM superstar duo Florida Georgia Line to create a fresh spin on an old-school look with the classic red and gold paint scheme. The design inspiration came from the timeless liveries of motorsport legends Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Tim Richmond.
