Quotable:
“I’ve never been to Bristol but have heard amazing things. This three-race stretch is when the season really kicks into high gear. Fortunately, last weekend, we ran a 3.75, which ended up being second-low (E.T.) of the first round, and that was a huge confidence booster for our team. It’s really shown us that our Carlyle Tools dragster is capable of making the horsepower that we know it can, and that’s awesome for team morale. And for myself, I got some really good experience pedaling in the second round.

“Just really looking forward to getting out to Bristol and putting on a good show for all the fans as well as visiting with all of our NAPA and Carlyle folks who are coming out. We’re definitely looking to show up and show out for them and have a good weekend. I’m going to kick things off by trap shooting on Thursday before the event. So, good times all around and hopefully we can have a good and fast weekend out there.”
