Quotable:

“Really happy to be getting back to two-wide racing. It’s been a busy couple weeks in the shop with the guys working on our clutch and with a couple of things they found. I’m really excited to stab the gas. We are trying to test coming up as well, so hopefully we can get up there and run fast and more importantly, run consistent passes, and keep making progress on our 2025 campaign.”
