You are returning to Daytona for the second time this year and the second time of your career in the Xfinity Series. What are your expectations?
“Honestly, I thought I was one of the few guys in February that tried to do something with every run I had and really make moves throughout the race. I hope more drivers are willing to hop out of line and work together this time around. We keep improving as the season goes on and I think we will have a good enough car to get my best Xfinity finish at Daytona and, hopefully, a win as long as we get some luck and momentum to go our way.”
