You’ve been strong at 1.5-mile tracks throughout your stint in the Xfinity Series. What would a win at Charlotte mean to the team since it’s a home race for everyone?
“Charlotte is one of the toughest 1.5-mile tracks we go to because it’s so line and temperature sensitive. To be strong in the race we will have to make smart adjustments following practice, which will depend on the track temperature and the high temps that we are predicted to endure.”
