QUOTES
 
 
 
“I’m really looking forward to making my NASCAR Xfinity Series superspeedway debut this weekend at Daytona. I had success there in the ARCA car last year and grabbed a career-best finish. I’m excited to get back to the track with Sam and the team. We learned a lot last year with our races at COTA and Portland. We had two really fast GR Supras during those races, and I know that they’ve prepared me another quick car for this weekend.”
 
— Parker Chase, Driver of the No. 24 Ontivity Toyota GR Supra
 
 
“I’m excited to kick off the year with our new 24 group and to see Parker and the team get to work. A lot of hours and preparation have gone in to building this program over the offseason, and I know Parker is prepared to execute as the first driver behind the wheel. The team has worked really hard on the race car, and I’m hopeful that we not only have speed, but can put ourselves in a good position and make it the distance for a potential one-two punch with Kaz.”
 
— Sam Hunt, Owner of Sam Hunt Racing
