Sorenson on returning to Dover:
“I’m definitely excited to get back to Dover this weekend. It might be my favorite track that we get to go to. It has characteristics of a short track, but the speeds we get to are just so fast. This Dollar General team had a really strong race here in the spring with a third-place run. We are bringing back that same car so I’m hoping we can duplicate that effort. All we can do as a team is put ourselves in a position to finish well. We only have control over what we do and hope it’s good enough to move us back toward the front in this championship battle.”
