Matt Kobyluck

“We’re anxious to go back and redeem ourselves from last year. Last year, it seemed like anything that could go wrong, did. Our car stalled during qualifying, and then again during the race. The guys changed everything – cleaned out the fuel cell, changed fuel pumps, and just made major changes.

Then we got wrecked at the end of the race. It was just one of those races you’d rather forget. We know we run well there and we’re hoping to kind of get the monkey off our back and get a win. It’s right in our back yard and we’ll have a lot of people there pulling for us so we don’t want to let them down.”
