“World Wide Technology Raceway was where I had my best result last season, so I’m really looking forward to getting back on the short oval this weekend. It’s a place that suits my driving style, and I’m hoping we can use that to our advantage. Detroit was a tough one, but the goal now is to reset, learn from it and get back on the right track here with a strong result.”

“I'm excited to go short oval racing for the first time in an Arrow McLaren Chevrolet. This team has been strong at short ovals in the past, so I'm looking forward to running with that package this weekend. We're still in the fight for the championship, so time to get back out there and keep stacking up good results."
