Nelson Piquet Jr. on his return to Iowa:

“I am looking forward to getting back on the track and making my return to Iowa this weekend. We had some back luck and got caught up in an accident the last time we were there in June, so I am looking forward to redeeming myself on Saturday night. We are taking the same chassis this weekend we got a top-10 with in Kentucky. I think if we stay smart, patient and have a mistake free weekend we can duplicate that effort in Iowa. We have WORX back on board this weekend; they have been great partners for us this year and it would be really cool to get them the finish they deserve on Saturday night.”
