Quotable:
“Going into the race weekend with the hot weather, we definitely have our work cut out for us. The conditions are going to be tricky and somewhat similar to what we saw in Phoenix. It’s unusual that we’ve got those hot track temps early in the season, but we’re going to be ready, and we’re going to be racing like it’s summertime here in the Spring. This track usually yields really good E.T.s, so we’re looking forward to that and we definitely our looking for a rebound after bowing out early our past two races. We’ve been qualifying in a decent spot, but we need to be qualifying top tier. And of course, four-wide brings a totally different racing strategy. So, I’m just geared up, excited, ready to go back out and do what we do.
“We’ve got six wins in Vegas, and it would be awesome to pull off our seventh victory this weekend because that means we’ve got sevens on the board and hit the jackpot, so hopefully we can come out and make this our jackpot race. We know it’s going to be tricky, it’s going to be competitive, but we’re looking forward to that challenge.”
