You head to Road America this weekend after a second-place finish at Bristol. Does this little bit of momentum help you as you head to a track for the first time?
“We’ve had some good runs recently, especially last weekend in Bristol where I thought we could have won the race. Road America and Bristol are completely different, so when we get back from the Homestead rookie test, I’ll be spending some time at the Ford Simulator trying to figure the 4.048-mile course out. There’s so many turns and the track is so large that it’s going to take a little bit to get comfortable with, but I have faith in Boswell and the whole SHR crew that we will bring a good piece to the track this weekend.”
