Erik Darnell on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“With Charlotte being a multi-groove track, you know there is going
to be some exciting racing. We’ve run well here in the past, most
notably a top-10 finish in 2006. We had a fast truck last year
qualifying fifth, but a late wreck spoiled our day. I’m looking
forward to racing this week in a brand new truck. It showed a lot of
promise while testing down at Darlington and I feel pretty good about
our chances. It should be a great night for racing.”
Crew Chief Matt Puccia on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“This is by far one of my favorite tracks to visit during the season.
Erik tends to run well at cookie cutter tracks like this one. The
Northern Tool + Equipment team will debut a new truck at Charlotte. We
actually found it to be better than our work horse truck while testing
down at Darlington. I think the No.99 Ford F-150 is capable of doing
some great things on the track Friday night.”
