What is your mindset about going to the ROVAL this weekend?

“We’re just trying to add playoff points if the opportunity is there. With other guys probably trying to stay out for stage points, hopefully we can pit early and gain track position to put ourselves in a better position for the second half of the race. Overall, though, we just want to have a clean day and get ready for Las Vegas next weekend.”
