From the Cockpit:
Brandon Jones: “I am excited to visit a new track and head across the country to Portland International Raceway. I have yet to see Portland International in person, but I have gotten some practice on the track on the TRD simulator. Though I haven’t seen or been on the track physically, I am bringing a lot of confidence with me. I have spent a lot of time preparing for this track in particular and have shown quite a lot of speed on the simulator. Over the years I have been developing my road course skills and I have increased my capability on them by racing in different series. I believe the key to a fast car will be unloading with a good set up and making small adjustments throughout practice prior to qualifying. I am still looking for my first road course win and it would be a thrill to do it this weekend at a new track in my Menards/Patriot Lighting Toyota GR Supra.”
