Quotes …

Owner Michael Allgaier on Salem: “We need to finish out these last three races strong and I know that Dave (Leiner, crew chief) and the guys are working hard at the shop to make sure that when they show up at the track, they are 100 percent prepared. They have put a lot of effort into putting this car back together and I hope that their hard work will pay off this weekend at Salem Speedway.”

Crew Chief Dave Leiner, II on Salem: “We had a typical short track incident that prevented Allgaier Motorsports from finishing up front earlier this spring. We had a strong finish last weekend at Toledo, and while the two tracks are different, the mentality is the same. We need to stay out of trouble and put ourselves in position for a top-five finish and another good points day.”
