Talk about going back to Nashville…

“It’s a fun track. We didn’t run like we wanted to by any means last year. It was just an all-around struggle from start to finish, but we’re looking forward to going back and trying to put together a good weekend. I feel like it’s a place that we can have success at. It’s just a matter of unloading close and fine tuning during that practice on Friday to be ready for qualifying and the race.”
