Quotables:
Alexis DeJoria, Driver
We made four consistent runs in qualifying and it feels like another good race weekend for us. We just keep getting better. I don’t know what the conditions will be tomorrow, but we’re sitting in the No. 2 spot and that’s always a good day. We’re going to go out tomorrow, charge hard, and hopefully get those round wins that we desperately need.
