It’s a big deal to be able to run in this series ... Driving these stock cars, it’s the closest you can get to driving a Sprint Cup car. They’ve got the same motors, and the same build, and if you can drive these, it’s a really big advantage.
We’re running the Sprint Cup car ten times and then we’re going to run a couple of Truck races, Bristol and the Eldora, Ohio Truck race on the dirt ... And then we’re running four or five ARCA races and my little dirt modified somewhere between 60 to 70 nights.
If you're a full-time Sprint Cup guy and don't get it, that's hard ... You want to feel like you've been a part of it. When you go home early, it's hard. It's hard to get in your car and drive out of here while the race is going on.More quotes »
