Driver Scott Lagasse Jr. on Autism Awareness:“We’re involved with a really great organization now (Autism Society of America) and I think it’s great that America’s Incredible Pizza Company wanted to help such a great cause. I know this is something that really hits home for Rick and Cheryl (Barsness, CEO of Pizza Company) with their grandson Peyton suffering from the disorder. I’m proud to run the ribbon on our car this weekend and for the rest of the year.”
Driver Scott Lagasse Jr. on Texas:
“I ran at Texas in the fall Nationwide race so I’m really looking forward to returning there for round two. I’m a big fan of the mile-and-a-half tracks and even more so now that I can come back a second time. We’re bringing my favorite car so I’m hoping the results will continue and we can better our ninth place finish we had at Las Vegas.”
