“I can’t wait to go to Darlington, it is my favorite place. You run right up against the wall and it is a fast track. It’s a tough track and it’s very technical, but that is what I like about it. I’ve run well in the Nationwide Series at Darlington in the past and I’m looking forward to building on the momentum of our second-place finish last week in Richmond. Baker Curb continues to build great race cars and we’ve had solid finishes. If we keep knocking on the door, eventually we’re going to win one!”

CREW CHIEF RICK VIERS ON DARLINGTON

“Darlington is one of my favorite tracks on the series. I have a lot of fond memories of Darlington from when I worked with Harry Gant. I’m looking forward to going there with Greg, he runs really well there. We’ve talked this week and I think we have a really good game plan going into the race. We are taking car 85, which is the car we finished second with at California and have had some of our best races with. This team has had a few second-place finishes and a bunch of top 10s and we feel like we are ready to move forward and get ourselves a win.”
