OWNER GARY BAKER ON BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY

“It always brings back great memories going to Bristol and it would be extra special for Baker Curb Racing to get our first win as a team there. We have two competitive teams, with two great drivers that are capable of winning each week. We were so close to our first win in California and I think it’s only a matter of time before you see us in victory lane.”

SCOTT LAGASSE JR. ON BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY

“I’m looking forward to going to Bristol, the place is a blast! Last year was the first time I had raced there, I learned a lot and had a decent run. The guys have been working hard the last few weeks on the Dr. Gadget®/everybodygets1.com Ford and I think we’ll have a good car this week. If you look at the Nationwide races so far this season, I think there has been some pretty aggressive driving. I expect that you’ll see more of the same at Bristol.”

JEFF WHITE ON BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY

“Being born and raised in Tennessee, Bristol is at the top of my list of tracks that I haven’t been part of a win at, that I want to win. I’ve been a part of some teams that have had good runs there, but never made it to victory lane. We’re brining car 81, which is the car we were running 4th with at Memphis in October before experiencing some engine problems and is one of our best cars.

Bristol is a track where it is important to qualify well if you want to run well. Goodyear is brining a new left side tire which should hold up better and I think you’ll see some teams making two-tire stops. At the end of the day, you just need to avoid trouble and be there at the end.”
