Clay Rogers quotes:
On Nashville race: “We definitely had higher expectations for Nashville. The truck handled well, we just couldn’t find the speed that we needed all weekend.”
On moving on to Dover: “We’ve made some changes in the last couple of weeks. I really want to thank the guys on the team and Mark Smith and his guys at (engine supplier) Pro Motor for all they done. We are positive we have hit on some things that will make us go faster at Dover
“We are going to hit this one full bore.”
Owner Ricky Benton Quotes:
On team’s decision to add Dover to their schedule: “We are still looking for some partners for the No. 92 truck, but after the strong start we’ve had to the season, we hated to not go to Dover and try to continue the momentum that we’ve built. We are hopeful for a good run that we can build on moving forward in 2011, especially when we go to Charlotte in a couple of weeks.”
