“I am looking forward to the new challenge of riding the wall at Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend. This will be a new and exciting experience for me! To prepare, I have been combing over telemetry from the past as well as watching races and spending time in a simulator. I also learned a lot by watching Kevin Harvick at Texas a couple of weeks ago.”
“Getting back in the No. 88 Alpha Energy Solutions Camaro for the second week in a row is going to be a huge boost to my confidence. It will give me a chance create somewhat of a rhythm and be more comfortable with the car from the start. I’m hoping this will also allow me to build from what I learned last week at Kentucky Speedway and help us get a great finish.”
“I am very eager to race at my home track, Kentucky Speedway. It’s an awesome facility on its own, but when the stands are filled with friendly faces, that makes the atmosphere and overall experience even better. It would be great to get a win in the No. 88 Alpha Energy Solutions Chevy in front of my hometown crowd, but I would be happy with a top-10 finish. For me, this 10-race season I’m running is all about gaining experience.”
“While I have never been to Road America, I ran it on iRacing and watched previous races to at least learn the track. I think Road America has an excellent mix of high and low speed corners with plenty of passing zones that will lend itself to fantastic racing!”
“Mid-Ohio is a very technical course that rewards smart, patient drivers. To be successful, I believe we need to qualify up front and, once again, work on minimizing mistakes. One of my biggest areas to improve is my braking zones. I worked on this constantly at the Glen and will have time at Mid-Ohio to work on it again, which should bring more speed.”
