“I think running the NNS ‘new car’ at LOR is going to be a lot of fun. As this is apparently the last race at this track I hope the race is an exciting one for the fans that have always supported the event. I have run fairly decent here in the past and our short track program has greatly improved, so I hope we can get a decent finish in the Hefty® BlackOut™ / Reynolds car.”
