– From the Drivers Seat: What are your thoughts coming into Atlanta Motor Speedway?

“I’m very excited to get to Atlanta. This year has been quite a whirlwind for all of the racetracks, but Atlanta is one that most drivers, including myself, have had circled. It’s going to be a unique experience. We have no baseline of what it is going to be like – racing a superspeedway type race at a mile-and-a-half. No one has really ever done that before, but as a driver, you do all the prep you can and learn on the fly quite a bit. These new opportunities lead to opportunities to be successful, so it’s going to be a lot of fun. We all enjoyed the old Atlanta surface, but we all knew it was time to do something new.”

– From the Drivers Seat: While the results might not be there, your performance has been strong each week to start the season. Did you have expectations coming into the season and have your expectations now changed?

“Our expectations were high coming into this year. Looking at the Next Gen car and at our partnership with GMS, we felt confident that we could have a good year and I think Dave (Elenz, crew chief) felt the same way. Have our expectations changed since the start of the season? Maybe a little bit, because I don’t think we expected to come right out of the gate with strong runs. We put a lot of effort into being able to do it, but it’s another thing to go out and execute it. As a team, you want to go to the track and know that you can contend for a win. That makes it a whole different ballgame.”
