What do you think about going to Dover this weekend?
“Dover is a fun racetrack. It’s really fast and there’s no real time to let up, so that makes it one of the more challenging tracks we go to. I’m excited about our chances though. Ben (Beshore, crew chief) and our team are doing a great job week in and week out. Even though the weather doesn’t look great for getting practice and qualifying in, I’m confident about the race whenever we get it in.”
