Quotable:
“We got two good qualifying runs in today for this Matco Tools team here at Epping. We know we can push a little harder with our TRD technology, but the thing is we know it’s going to be hotter tomorrow, so we need to be consistent. We want to stay quick, but we’re in the top half of the field and we have to take it one round at a time and I like our chances here in New England.”
