Braun on racing at Lowe's Motor Speedway: "This will be my first race at Lowe's Motor Speedway and I'm excited to race there. I am going to get some laps on the track this week at the Nationwide test so that will be great to kind of figure out the track before I get in the truck on Friday. I've talked to some of my Roush Fenway teammates about getting around Lowe's and they've been really helpful too. "Everyone on this Con-way Freight team always wants to finish well, but considering this is home for everyone on the team it would be great to get another top-five finish. We're leading the rookie points now and I want to keep my lead, and move up in the overall driver points with strong finishes every week." Crew chief Mike Beam on racing at Lowe's Motor Speedway: "We're taking the same truck we raced in Fontana, Atlanta and most recently Kansas. After Kansas we put new quarterpanels on both sides and a new nose since it had some damage. It had great numbers in the wind tunnel, even better than before. We just need to run a smart race Friday night and not beat ourselves." |
