Brian Vickers

“I’m excited to be back at Kansas Speedway. It’s a track where you can run anywhere, which makes for great racing. With the multiple grooves, you can search to find the best place for your car on the track. The three-wide racing is exciting for the fans and for the drivers. The Dollar General team has done a great job this season with these Toyotas, especially at intermediate tracks like Kansas. We have a pole position and our best finish of second at MIS, which is a very similar track. I think we have a good chance of putting the Dollar General Toyota in victory lane this weekend and I want so badly to get a win for Trent and the team.”
