Mike Shiplett has a good track record going into Kentucky Speedway. Does this give you a confidence boost going into the weekend?
“With Shiplett’s record, especially the last couple of years at Kentucky, it definitely provides a good amount of confidence that we will have a good car when we unload this weekend. I think we have shown that we are good at every type of track we have been to this year, but 1.5-mile tracks seem to really showcase our strength and how well SHR builds cars for these types of tracks. I look forward to getting to the track and showing what we have this weekend and hopefully we can keep our top-five streak at Kentucky alive from 2017 and 2018.”
