From the Cockpit: 

Brandon Jones: “We were a little off at Darlington in the spring, but I’ve been doing a lot of laps in the simulator, and I think we got the car a little closer to how we were in 2020 when we won. We’ll do some fine-tuning during practice on Saturday but overall I think we are bringing a really good No. 19 Menards/Atlas Toyota GR Supra. I’m looking forward to getting out on the track on Saturday and contending for another win.”
