From the Driver’s Seat:
William Sawalich: “Last year was a good double-duty weekend and we are doing it again this year. Last year in the ARCA race, we got caught up battling lap traffic so I just need to be mindful of that this year. Double duty with practice, qualifying, and both races on one day is challenging, but I can also see it as an advantage to get some laps in before the truck race.”
