Quotes:
Mike Skinner on Racing at
Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“We normally run pretty
well at Charlotte, but we
are kind of scratching our
heads a bit about our aero
package right now. All three
BDR teams are taking
different aero package to
Charlotte this week, and
hopefully we can get things
going in the right direction
and back running strong week
in and week out.”
