Talk about going to Darlington this weekend…
“I’m looking forward to going back to Darlington. We feel like we let one get away from us there in the spring, so we have some unfinished business. I have a lot of confidence about going there and getting some momentum going. This next stretch of races shapes up really well for our team, so I’m excited about that as we get closer to the playoffs in a few weeks.”
