Quotable:
“2020 has been a challenging year for all of us, to say the least, but I’m very, very much looking forward to the U.S. Nationals. This race just has such great meaning. I’m looking forward to doing what we do, and seeing the fans, and promoting all of our great partners like Matco Tools, Global Electronic Technology, Hangsterfer’s, and Toyota. We’re not going to let 2020 crush us. We’re going to put our heads down and give it all we’ve got this weekend. Not just for the win, but for our partners, and for our fans who’ve stuck with us through these difficult times. It’s time to beat this resistance with a great deal of persistence.”
