QUOTES

“I’m super pumped to make my Xfinity Series debut this weekend at Charlotte. I couldn’t be more thrilled to have MCM Transportation on board with us for this special weekend. MCM has supported me in ARCA, Trucks, and now they are taking the leap into the Xfinity Series with me. You only get one chance to make a debut, and I’m glad I get to do it with Sam Hunt Racing. Can’t wait to get out on track for my first triple-duty weekend!”

— Dean Thompson, Driver of the No. 26 MCM Transportation GR Supra
