From the Driver’s Seat:
Erik Jones: “Bristol has been a good track for me in the past. It’s one of my favorite tracks and I think one where we should have won on the Cup level a few years ago when we started from the pole and led a bunch of laps before finishing second to Kyle (Busch). We should be able to pick up where we left off earlier this season, and have a fast STANLEY Camry on Saturday night and be able to contend for the win. It’ll also be fun to get back in the Xfinity Series this weekend and run the iK9 Supra on Friday night. It would be pretty cool to win both races this weekend and add two more swords to the mix.”
From the Pit Box:
Chris Gayle: “Excited to head to Bristol this weekend and do some short-track racing. This is easily my favorite race track on the circuit and the night race is definitely my favorite event of the season. I feel like we had a great opportunity to contend for the win in the first event and didn’t have a chance to show that with all the trouble we had with loose wheels in the first event. So looking for a little redemption this weekend in Bristol. This track is a very strong one for Erik, and we feel like it’s a very good shot to go get our first win of the season and lock ourselves into the Playoffs with three races remaining.”
