Jason Leffler

“Gateway is a pretty challenging track from a handling standpoint. You have two very different corners so you really have to work to find the right balance. It’s not going to be perfect on both ends of the track so you have to give and take a little bit. One of the biggest keys is getting a good run off of turns one and two so you have a lot of momentum down the backstretch.

That’s what we’ll be working on throughout both Friday evening practice sessions. We had a great run there last year so if we can go back and build upon what we learned from that race we should be in good shape and have a shot at getting the Great Clips Camry back to victory lane.”
