Quotable:
“I’ve been super successful there, having won five times, but I’ve won that race with different crew chiefs. As much as I’d like to take the credit for my Gainesville success, a whole bunch of people contributed to that. But, I do believe that we’ll have great success this weekend with our new team as well. I wish we were part of the Call-Out race because it makes you step up your game a little earlier in the weekend, but our Scag Top Fuel dragster is performing extremely well without the results. Obviously, we have two first-round wins, which is good, but we've just had some gremlins bite us which has prevented us from racing to our full potential.
“We have a great group of folks from Scag Power Equipment coming out. Already, we had people coming up to the ropes at our last race letting us know that they had a Scag dealership and they were so excited for a Scag race car, so I’m really pumped to debut our Scag car this weekend. A lot of good things in the works for our team.”
