Ron Hornaday Jr. on Racing at Daytona International Speedway:
“First of all, I would like to thank everyone at Turner Scott Motorsports for giving me the opportunity to race at Daytona with them. I am really looking forward to working with the No.30 Rheem team this weekend. I really enjoy racing at Daytona and it always gives me goose bumps when I hit the track. Daytona is a very fast superspeedway. The new NASCAR qualifying procedure is going to be very interesting and I think a lot of fun for the fans. With that being said, it will be important to get a good starting spot and find a partner to draft with. Anything can happen at Daytona, but I know we will have a fast Rheem Silverado. With a little bit of luck, hopefully we can come home with a great finish.”
