Toyota NSCS Michigan Ty Norris & Brett Moffitt Notes & Quotes

TY NORRIS, executive vice president of business development and general manager, Michael Waltrip Racing - What is Brett Moffitt’s future with MWR? “Brett (Moffitt) has been doing quite a bit of testing for us in various forms. We’ve seen a lot of progress in him -- he was very successful for us when he drove for us in the K&N Series and even then we always felt that he should be the next driver to get the opportunity to go to the Truck Series, the Nationwide Series, but unfortunately MWR doesn’t own a Nationwide team or a Truck Series team so an opportunity came available to run him in the Cup car at Dover with our relationship with Jay Robinson Racing. Brett was as good as we thought he was going to be and very, very impressive."
