27th annual Summit Racing Southern Nationals
Atlanta Dragway
Commerce, Ga.
“I’m looking forward to going there. It’s my home track. I get to hang out with my dad and step mom. I get to see friends that I don’t see often. And, we’ve had success there. It’s a place that I like going to. We’ve got a team that’s capable of winning any race. We just have to make the most of it. We can do that. We’ve got a strong car. We’ve been in the top five all year and we’re eager to get our first win in Top Fuel. ”
