Brett Moffitt Quoteboard:

On Sonoma Raceway: “We are bringing a brand new No. 25 AM Technical Solutions Ford Mustang to the race track this weekend and I hope it will prove to be beneficial.

“It is going to be a stacked field on Saturday, but I hope our new Ford Mustang and the extended practice on Friday afternoon will prove to be the key ingredients that allow us to hunt a top-10 finish.

“We are coming off a respectable finish at Portland and definitely recovered from our misfortune at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but we need to start delivering more top-10s and get closer to those top-fives and hope we can be in a position to score a win and put us in the Playoffs.”

On 2023 Season Outlook: “Through the first 13 races, we have definitely showcased speed, but we know we have to turn that speed into performances.

“We are approaching a crucial summer stretch for the NASCAR Xfinity Series and we are doing everything we can to make sure we are prepared to attack and put ourselves in the Playoffs.”
