Quotable:
“This will be my first time racing in Epping, and I’ve heard nothing but great things. I can’t wait to meet some new fans, check out a historic track, and celebrate in true New England style with a lobster team dinner with the local Carlyle Tools folks on Saturday night. We’re starting our race weekend with an appearance at Bentley’s Saloon up in Maine tonight, and I’m very much looking forward to that. I know Ron goes up there every year and it always seems like such a blast, so I’m excited I’ll get to be a part of that this year.
“Our Carlyle Tools boys have been working really hard both on and off the race track, and I’m really proud of what they’ve accomplished so far this season. We’ll take our data from Maryland and apply it in Epping. We’ve got plenty of folks from NAPA and Carlyle coming out this weekend, and hopefully they can be our good luck charms, and we’ll go deep in the rounds on Sunday.”
