Scott Lagasse, Jr.

“What a heartbreaker. We had a great car and for us to get knocked out with only 20 laps left is hard to swallow. This was the first car we built in-house and it was great to see just what we are capable of. I can only hope that we will rebound pretty quickly from this deal. It’s a point’s battle now so every race counts and we want to get back up into the top-10.”

Driver Scott Lagasse Jr. on Talladega:

“I don’t have a lot of laps logged at Talladega Superspeedway so the practice sessions will be crucial for me. We’ve put together a great combination with Roman Pemberton spotting for us now and Paul making great adjustments on the car. I will definitely rely heavily on Roman this weekend. Talladega is a fast paced track where anything can happen in the blink of an eye. Everyone just hopes to avoid the “big one” and get out of there in one piece.”
