Andy Lally On His First Trip to The Kansas Oval: "I have been trying to watch every bit of footage I can get my hands on from Kansas. I was able to get a hold of Dennis Setzer's in car footage from two years ago and that was very helpful, he had a pretty eventful race and being able to watch a veteran like that go through all the different issues he faced during that race may help me make the right choice when I have multiple places to go in a bad situation. It also helped me learn the line as well."
Andy Lally on Three Weekends Without Racing: "I never like being out of the car for long especially in this case where I still have a lot to learn in our Chevy Silverado. We were able to do two days of testing at Richmond and I think we improved our truck there a bit and I also think I improved as well. I want to get the weekend rolling at Kansas and get our program rolling in the right direction, I believe so much in this team and I am so proud of the work that they do. I’m eager to get to the track and see what we have gained."
Andy Lally To Sign Autographs at the Kansas City Dream Factory: Andy Lally is scheduled to make an appearance at a charity event that is scheduled on Thursday, April 24th by the Kansas City Dream Factory (www.kcdream.org). This is a wish granting organization for kids with life-threatening illnesses. A local Kansas City car dealer, McCarthy Autogroup, has generously donated a 2008 Chevy Corvette to the Dream Factory in order to help raise money to continue the program. Andy Lally will sign autographs from 6-9 p.m. to help boost ticket sales for the raffle of the Corvette. For more information, please visit www.kcdream.org.
