Quotable: “I am absolutely excited to be headed to Pomona. It is a bit of a homecoming and the place where I got my start racing juniors so you definitely have extra butterflies coming in. It is a great track for me. Some tracks you just roll in with extra confidence and Pomona is that place for me. I have had a lot of success there in the past and we are focused on ending my last race in Top Fuel for the time being on a strong note. It is bittersweet as it is the last time with me with this team. They have worked hard and it has been a pleasure to be their driver. We have come so close to a win and we want to get it done this weekend. They deserve it.”
