Quotable:
- “Very excited to go back to Sonoma. There’s always such a great crowd out there, the fans come from all over, you can feel the energy, and it’s just such a great atmosphere. After our outing in Denver, our Matco Tools team is looking to get back on track and back to thriving. Brian Corradi, Mark Oswald, Brad Mason, all my crew guys, I can see that look in their eye. That look of hunger that says ‘we’re ready.’ We’re ready to go to Sonoma, not just to drink wine, we’re ready to go there and eat.”
