Quotable:
“I love this part of the season, the summer months with these back-to-back races. I have so many great memories of being able to travel with the kids out to the Norwalk race. The Bader family always puts on a great show, and I’m especially happy about the fact that we will have four qualifying sessions this weekend. We’ll have a Friday night session and the conditions and weather look fantastic so, I think we’ll see a lot of great racing.
“We’re coming off of a win from Bristol in very demanding conditions. Our NAPA AutoCare team has been very busy during these couple of days in between Bristol and Norwalk getting everything ready to go for this weekend. We’ve got a lot of great NAPA and GearWrench guests coming out, which is awesome. I flew home after Bristol, celebrated my birthday with the family, and now I’m taking my son, Caden, who’s on summer break, and bringing him to Norwalk with me so I’m very much looking forward to this weekend.”
