QUOTES
Stenhouse, Jr. on racing at Kentucky Speedway:
“We’re coming off a big win so we will carry that momentum into this weekend. The excitement level that the fans bring at Kentucky is amazing. Earlier this year, we didn’t make the right adjustments but we’ve learned from that so I feel we will be a strong contender this weekend. We’ve never gotten back-to-back wins so we are going to try to break that streak by getting our No. 6 Ford Ecoboost Mustang into victory lane.”
Crew chief Mike Kelley on racing at Kentucky Speedway:
“Four of our five wins have come at 1.5-mile tracks so we have confidence going into this weekend. Kentucky is another 1.5-mile tri-oval track but is rough. We will focus on getting our No. 6 Ford Ecoboost Mustang to turn well over the bumps. We are looking for back-to-back wins which our No. 6 team has never done.”
