Braun on racing at Dover:

"I've never raced at Dover but I've seen it on television a lot.  I watched the Cup and truck races from Dover last year to get a feel for the race.  It will be important to stay out of trouble and keep the truck pointed straight.  I learned in Mansfield last weekend that if you can stay out of the wrecks then you'll probably have a pretty decent finish.  I'm excited to do some real racing at Dover this weekend, unlike what we had at Mansfield with 80 laps of caution.  A place like Dover requires a fast truck so I'm hoping we can flex our muscle a bit on Friday."

Crew chief Mike Beam on racing at Dover:

"Colin has been doing a great job this season, and although Dover is probably one of the toughest tracks he's going to face as a rookie, I think he'll be fine.  It will be my job to keep him calm and patient.  It's a tough track and you can get into trouble pretty quickly there, so between me and Bobby (Hudson, spotter) we can't let him be too aggressive too early in the race."
