With this being your first USAC Indiana Sprint Week event, is there a particular track you’re looking forward to going to more than some of the others?

“I’m really looking forward to competing at Gas City again this week. I’ve kind of got a score to settle there. My first event in Gas City didn’t go the way we’d wanted it to and I’m ready to get back out there for two nights. When we wrecked there in June, I made a vow that I would win at Gas City this year. Getting our first win there during Sprint Week would make it even better. ”

With two doubleheaders on tap to kick-off USAC Indiana Sprint Week, do you think that having more time at Lawrenceburg and Gas City will benefit TSR?

“I’m really glad we’re going to have two nights at both tracks. I’m also glad we’re going to Lawrenceburg first. I wasn’t able to race there in April when USAC was there. I’d had an accident at Bloomington Speedway the night before and couldn’t drive. I’ve only seen a race at Lawrenceburg from the grandstands. It will give not only our team a chance to get settled in but it will also give me time to really get used to the track. The same goes for Gas City. We’re going to have two chances to get Chevrolet and Bass Pro Shops in victory lane there, as well. ”

How did the No. 21 TSR/Chevrolet/Maxim team help you prepare for your first USAC Indiana Sprint Week experience?

“We built two brand new cars for this week and I’m really excited to get them on the track. The guys worked really hard to get us as ready as we could be and I think we’ll be able to cash in on that hard work. Everyone has also been really helpful in getting me mentally prepared for this week. I’ve not seen some of these tracks before and it’s great to have such an experienced group of people to help me work through it, especially for the first time. ”
