Quotable:
“The U.S. Nationals is a big race, and our Matco Tools Toyota team is primed and ready. We stayed behind in Brainerd and tested. We got our car back on the right track, and it was the perfect way to get some good momentum going into Indy. This is the biggest race of the year. If you win Indy, it’s almost like winning the championship. Our main focus is to qualify well and bring a win home. If we can bring a win home, that will set us up for a good Countdown run, and it all starts here in Indy.”
