From the Cockpit:
Brandon Jones: “We are headed down south to Homestead-Miami Speedway. I have a lot of confidence going into this weekend as Homestead has slowly become one of my favorite tracks. Over the years I have studied hard to figure the track out and have found a lot of success there recently. As the race goes on the top line will turn dominant and we will all be ripping the top. I know these No. 19 boys will bring a fast Menards/Jeld-Wen Toyota GR Supra for the weekend as we keep battling to get into the championship four!”
