QUOTES
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Watkins Glen International Speedway:
“We’ve tested at some road courses since Road America. The additional seat time on road courses is essential for me. Last year was my first time to race at the Glen so I feel more comfortable this year. The key is to hit all your marks and get through the ‘esses’ smoothly. I feel confident that we can get a strong finish in our No. 6 Ford Ecoboost Mustang and hopefully gain some points in the championship battle.”
Crew chief Mike Kelley on racing at Watkins Glen International Speedway:
“Ricky is adapting very quickly to the road courses. We’ve done some testing which we feel will help us for the two upcoming races. We need to qualify strong, stay up front and out of trouble. Our No. 6 team has been working hard all week on pit stops. Carl(Edwards) will be racing the No. 60 this weekend which I feel will be beneficial to our No. 6 team due to his wealth of knowledge of the track. I am confident that if we execute on pit-road and stay out of trouble we will have a strong finish at the Glen.”
