Quotable:
“You read any of the pre-race media leading into Reading, and the talk is always about kicking off the Countdown to the Championship playoffs on a strong note. This time of year, at Maple Grove, those fans are always rewarded with some of the best weather and track conditions you’ll see all season long, and this weekend is shaping up to be no different. The temperature is looking to be about as perfect as you can get, and the fans will probably get to see some of the quickest and fastest runs across the board. So, as a driver, you prepare yourself for that, and the crew chiefs, they’re all licking their chops. Our NAPA Funny Car has held the E.T. and speed records for some time at that track and we’re very proud of that, but I would bet there will be some cars taking shots at it this weekend, and I hope our NAPA Toyota Supra is one of them. We’d love to get our Countdown off to a great start and hope to end our weekend in the winner’s circle.”
