Johanna Long on Racing at Homestead-
“I’m excited about racing at Homestead this weekend, but it’s kind of bittersweet because I don’t want the season to end. It has been a great learning year for me in the Nationwide Series with ML Motorsports. I can’t thank Mary-Louise Miller (team owner) enough for taking a chance on a young rookie like myself. I hope to finish out the season strong with a great run and finish for everyone at ML Motorsports.”
