On racing at Martinsville…
- “Martinsville is definitely a very difficult track and one that I’m still working to improve on. After last week, we need to be strong and start well to have a chance at a good finish. It’s important to have good track position because it’s hard to pass there. Working with Dave (Rogers) has been fun and gives me a lot of confidence that we can be strong in the race, so I’m excited to go there and see what we can do.”
