Ryan Truex, Driver of the No. 20 Toyota Certified Collision Center GR Supra: 

“You’ve had mixed results at Daytona. How do you approach this weekend and plan to get a good result?”

“Well, it’s hard to plan for anything at Daytona. That said, I’m going in with an emphasis on working with my Toyota teammates and making smart decisions throughout the night. Anything can happen on those last few laps and I was proof of that back in February, but we’re just focused on controlling what we can control and giving ourselves our best shot at victory lane.”
