From the Driver’s Seat:

Myatt Snider: “I’m pumped for the upcoming race at Daytona. This Saturday we’ll have a great chance to put my No. 19 TreeTop Toyota GR Supra at the front. I’ve been at the shop preparing for this weekend and know Jason and the 19 team are bringing a great car. Their effort, knowledge, and well-tuned process are giving me a lot of confidence going into the race. We’ll do a little bit of fine-tuning on Friday during practice and will put our best efforts in for qualifying on Saturday morning. Daytona can get crazy so managing the race, working with our Toyota teammates, and keeping our car clean will be important as we chase a win.”
