“We were at Bristol with Brad (Keselowski) for the (NASCAR Camping World) Truck race and the guys are ready to go as well. Never been to Chicago before so it will be a neat experience to say the least.” He continued.
“We’re taking the same car we raced at MIS. She is a good one and we learned a lot about that chassis there so hopefully we can improve on are qualifying position and race up front all night and see where it all shakes out at the end.”
