What is your mindset going into this weekend at Watkins Glen?

“I think we go there and try to score as many points as possible. We have a very realistic shot at the regular season owners’ points and that would help us in our ultimate goal to win the owners’ championship with the 20 car. Tyler (Allen, crew chief) and these guys have had an amazing season. I’m excited to be a part of this stretch run to the finish to see what we can accomplish. It’s exciting to have Go Bowling on our car this weekend. We’ve had such a great, longstanding relationship and I’d really like to give them a good run on Saturday because this is a huge weekend for them across the board.”
