Quotable:
“I’m looking forward to going back up to the Northeast and seeing some familiar faces from my old stomping grounds not too far away in New Jersey. New England Dragway has always been good to our Matco Tools/Toyota team. The weather is looking really good this weekend, mid-to-high 70s and the track surface is always super smooth there. We want to make sure we qualify well on Friday night, and get our ‘summer swing’ as I’m calling it, off to a good start. We have so many races coming up over the next few months, and I’m really excited to get back out there and do what we do.”
