Quotable:
“We’re looking forward and ready for race day tomorrow. The track is definitely tricky out here at Atlanta Dragway, but that’s Hotlanta. We’ve done well here before and you have to be able to adapt at this track. I believe we’re ready to go for race day and we’ll have a really tough first-round match-up with Doug Kalitta, and it’s the ‘Tool Wars.’ We’re looking forward to the challenge and taking it one round at a time and doing it well here in Georgia. I have a lot of special memories at this track and we want to make more of them tomorrow.”
