Quotable:
“To me, Sonoma is one of those tracks that I just get extra pumped up about it. Denver, Bristol, Gainesville, Sonoma, those places are so epically beautiful, I look forward to them every time. Sonoma is one of those races where we’ve had some good success. After a disappointing first round in Denver, I’m ready to get right back in the car and try and redeem ourselves.
“We had to take out our back up car in Denver, and it’s been a thrash this week for the guys, putting a new front end on our original car. I’m not sure yet which car we will be running this weekend, but our guys are excellent at what they do and I have no doubt, at the end of the day, they’ll give me a great Okuma race car in Sonoma.”
