Nelson Piquet Jr. on Charlotte Motor Speedway:
“I am really looking forward to getting back on the track this weekend in Charlotte. We had a tough race last weekend in Kansas, but I think we can turn it around and have a solid finish on Friday night. This is a home race for WORX and they will have a lot of people joining us at the track. It’s also WORX’s last race as a primary sponsor on our car, so I hope to get them into victory lane.”
