THOUGHTS AS YOU APPROACH THIS MILESTONE AND HAVING TOMMY HOUSTON IN ATTENDANCE:

“It's definitely an honor to be part of the Nationwide Series as long as I've been. And
to have Tommy there, when I first came into the Nationwide Series, I raced against
Tommy a lot. Definitely respected what he did for the series, and now that it's grown so much, it's really because of people like him and some of the guys that originally started. So very honored and very proud and hope that we have a good night on Friday night.”
