“Tonight has been awesome! This GMS crew, even over on the truck side, we were fast all night, we were fast when we unloaded. We hardly did anything to it, just some trackbar stuff is all we needed. It put us in victory lane obviously. I’m so proud of have this Bart Starr Children’s Fund. It’s a special one, it’s linked with the Lombardi Foundation and that’s a big deal for all of us Wisconsinites. I didn’t expect that compliment from Mardy (Lindley, crew chief) and this coming after our JRM announcement is huge. Obviously, everyone believed in me and we proved it this weekend that we can do it. I love this momentum. We’re just going to keep it going. Bristol just suites me. I’m really proud to have all these guys with me and everyone at GMS is just so special. Everyone at the shop who put this car together, everyone who put the truck together. They know what they’re doing here and that makes my job a lot easier and I can’t thank Armour Guard, Team Chevy and the Starr Foundation enough for coming on board.”
