SCOTT LAGASSE JR. ON NASHVILLE
“I’m really excited about this weekend in Nashville; I traditionally have run well there. It’s a big week for us with Baker Curb Racing being based here. A lot of the guys will have friends and family at the race so it is important to run well. The concrete makes it so the track doesn’t change a lot as the conditions do, so once you get things dialed in you don’t have to make a lot of adjustments. Being able to be fast out of Turn 2 is a real key to being successful at Nashville. It seems like the guys that are fast off of Turn 2 are the ones to beat.”
LAGASSE JR. SELECTED AS “ DRIVER OF THE WEEK”
Scott has been selected as the Nationwide Series “Driver of the Week” for Nashville. Scott participated in a nascar.com webchat on Wednesday and is also featured in an article on the Nationwide Series page.
