What is your mindset going into New Hampshire this weekend?
“Just like every week, I’m fired up to get to the track. Dave Rogers and our Poppy Bank team are bringing unbelievable Toyota Supras to the track every week. I’m proud of the speed we have shown all year, but especially these past few weeks. Obviously, the finish last week did not reflect how strong we were. Going into this week, I expect us to be strong. New Hampshire has been a great track for JGR as a company for a long time and I’m excited about that opportunity as a driver knowing that our Supra is going to be capable of winning. We just need to execute and we’ll have a great shot Saturday afternoon.”
