Corey LaJoie Quotes
Tough result last weekend at Phoenix but you’ve had some good runs at Bristol so that seems like a good track to bounce back from a less-than-ideal weekend.
“Looking forward to the opportunity to rebound at Bristol with the Gainbridge Chevrolet Camaro. We’ve had good speed there the last couple races, so we just need to execute a solid day and try to walk away with a top 10.”
