You became a star with your intro at Bristol last year. Do you have something ready to top it this year?
“I grew up watching races at Bristol and everyone always looked forward to the walk outs and how everyone did something different. We don’t get to pick a song in the Xfinity Series, but I was able to say something on the mic. It’s something I don’t usually do, but now I can say I had a cool intro at Bristol. I don’t know if I’ll be able to top that, but we will see!”
