From the Cockpit: 

Brandon Jones: “I am looking forward to the ROVAL with how our road course program has stepped up this 2022 season. Our confidence is very high and I think that the ROVAL will work in our favor. We have a lot of fight left in us to make it to the next round of the playoffs and onto the championship. I have been running lots of laps on the TRD simulator, working out at the GoPro Motorplex and turning laps at Millbridge to prepare for this weekend. I feel I have made big improvements on my end to give Jeff (Meendering) quality feedback to bring a top-level GR Supra.  As a team, I know we are capable of being there at the end with a solid run in our No. 19 Menards/Fisher GR Supra to take us to the next round and go on to fight for a championship.”
