Quotable:
“Last time we were in Pomona, it was a great outing. Won the race, won the championship, so we’re definitely looking forward to getting back out there. We have the Top Fuel All-Star Callout to kick things off during qualifying on Friday. We’re matched up with Shawn Langdon, and he’s coming off that win last weekend, we’re coming off of the win from Gainesville, so it’ll feel good to square off against him and have some redemption. We’re going to keep our heads down, get after it, and see what we can pull off. There’s some big money on the line. We didn’t end Phoenix the way we wanted, but we learned a lot there and we’re getting better because of it, so we’re looking for a really good weekend in Pomona.”
