DD Quote:

“I am really looking forward to racing at Daytona this weekend. To say that racing at Daytona is a dream come true would be an understatement. Everybody at GMS has worked extremely hard this offseason to get us in a great place to go after a championship this year. I can’t thank everyone enough, and hopefully, we will be in contention for a win on Saturday afternoon.”
