Driver Scott Lagasse Jr. on Kentucky:

“I have very fond memories of Kentucky Speedway and am really excited to race there this weekend. I believe I won the ASA race in the smallest margin of victory ever at that track. I have a sort of comfort level heading into there and some track time so I’m feeling pretty good about things. Since our Nashville car was so strong we also decided to bring that car to Kentucky so hopefully we’ll be able to get the America’s Incredible Pizza Company Toyota right out front and stay there all night. Kentucky is a track known for its first time winners and I would like to be added to that list of drivers.”
