"I went to the team shop last week to have my seat adjusted and had a chance to get to know the new team members, and especially Crew Chief Kevin ''Bono'' Manion. He really knows his stuff, having worked with all the major team and often won over the years. I really expect a great race on Saturday," added the excited driver of the #17 Réseau dynamique | FRL Express car.
