QUOTES
Stenhouse, Jr. on racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway:
“I am really looking forward to racing under the lights at Charlotte in our Blackwell Angus Ford. We sat on the pole there in the spring and had a strong fourth place finish. We are bringing the same chassis that we raced in Atlanta and got a third place finish. Charlotte is a fast race track and is extremely fun to race. I feel pretty confident that we can get this Blackwell Angus back to victory lane this weekend.”

The key for us in this race and in our championship hunt is to stay out of trouble, execute on pit-road, and finish in the top-five.”
