“We’re going into the Cup race without really having any expectations. Hopefully we’ll unload with speed for practice, that is something we have struggled with in the past. Being the third car, we don’t have to worry about points, and we can use strategy to our advantage. I’m looking forward to running both races in COTA and hopefully we can put together a solid weekend.”

“I’m looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of a Cup car at COTA this weekend. I know the guys at Kaulig and Trackhouse Racing will bring a fast WeatherTech Chevrolet to the track. I’m looking forward to the challenge of running double duty and hopefully going out and putting on a good show for the fans on Sunday afternoon.”

“COTA will be a challenge of its own. It will be my first time driving these NEXTGen cars with sequential shifting, the brakes, and just the raw capability of the cars. It will be a brand-new experience for me, but I love any opportunity to grow as a driver and as a race team. Kaulig Racing has had solid, road-course success, so hopefully with this new package, we can adapt and learn quickly.”

“I haven’t been able to race COTA yet due to different circumstances over the last few years. Having teammates like AJ and SVG is going to be a huge help for me on road courses, especially ones I haven’t run yet.”

“We’ve had success at COTA in the Xfinity car. It’s a racetrack that I really enjoy and it’s fun to drive. We need something to get the momentum rolling to get going in the season. This is perfect timing for us to get back there and hopefully do what we did last year: qualify on the pole, run up front all day and be there at the end.”

“I’m excited to make my first Xfinity Series start at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) this weekend. While I’ve raced at COTA before, this will be a completely different experience in a stock car. I’m looking forward to the competition this weekend and going out on Saturday and having fun in our WeatherTech Chevrolet.”
