"I feel like we're on schedule to have some great runs in the near future. We're looking forward to Norwalk and then our Western swing starting out in Denver for the Dodge® SRT Mile High Nationals and then on to California. Norwalk is a really good racetrack, and the stands are always packed. We know we can run some good times there," says Cruz. "We've been running top speed of all the cars, even Top Fuel, so it shows that the HEMI power is there. We're putting it to the ground and looking to improve little by little and start winning the rounds that have come as close as .0003 seconds."
Cruz says Crew Chief John Collins (JC) and the team are giving him a good car and he's working to keep up with it. JC worked over the break to improve Cruz's position in the car, primarily focused on head clearance, and adding a chin strap to the helmet that's been rubbing the roof of the
Snap-on® Dodge® Charger SRT Hellcat. As for the car, Cruz says, "…it's running better and better all the time."
