What they’re saying

“We're confident in our chances at Rockingham. We showed a lot of speed in the test, which gives us a lot of optimism for Friday. We had a dominant truck here last year and just came up short on fuel at the end. If we can put a full race together, I know we're capable of getting it done.”

— Layne Riggs, Driver

“We're in a strong position leading the points standings, and with a solid run-or a win-this Friday, we have a great opportunity to build on that lead. With the Chase format, it's all about maximizing points throughout the race, not just the finish. Our focus is on starting up front, scoring in both stages, and putting together a complete race to bring home a strong result.”

— Chandler Smith, Driver
