Dale Jr. Quotes for Loudon:
“We had our best career start and our best finish (third and sixth, respectively) when we were at Loudon a few weeks ago. Sometimes it’s hard to stay focused on the bigger picture when you have something like what happened Saturday night in Richmond (a punctured tire while running second with less than 50 laps to go). But, we know we were in contention for the win, and that’s what we strive for every week. We take this stuff seriously, but we’re not going to get frustrated. We’re still having our best and most consistent season yet.”
“I think the owners of the track have done a good job of spending the money they needed to make the track better. We were able to race in two grooves last time, and the track held together. It made it easier to pass, easier to race. I’m sure it was more fun to watch from the stands as well…”
