Quotable:
“Seattle holds a lot of great memories, and it’s always going to be a special place for me seeing as that’s where I won my first race as a rookie in Top Fuel. And then of course, going back and winning multiple times in Funny Car just adds to it and makes it a place we love to go.
“For years, as a kid, we attended that event, and I worked that race as a crew member working on different cars, and now you fast forward, and we’re out there with an incredible amount of support from all our NAPA Auto Care and NAPA Auto Parts partners in the Pacific Northwest. So, we’d love nothing more than to park it in the winner’s circle on Sunday and have all our NAPA folks join us. What the track has done with Muckleshoot Casino and putting together a Friday night qualifying show under the lights is perfect for that facility and the fans up there are so deserving of a great show.”
