You’re a part of the Dash 4 Cash this weekend. Do you race this track any different than you normally would or do you just go into it as another race?
“For the most part you’re going to go into the race with the same mindset of giving it 100%. I think the difference is at the end of the race when $100,000 is on the line, you might have to get a little more aggressive with the cars in front of you.”
