How excited are you to be making your first start in the Nationwide Series?

“I’m really excited.  To have an organization like Joe Gibbs Racing give me an opportunity like this is awesome.  Hopefully driving in top notch equipment like this will make the learning curve a lot easier on me.”

What are your goals for the race?

“I don’t want to go in with too high of expectations, but I’m looking for a solid race and a good clean race.  Hopefully I can go out and earn the respect of the other drivers and get a good finish.”

Do you know anything about the track in Memphis?

“I’ve never been on it, but I’m trying to learn as much as I can about it.  Sounds like a typical short track and shouldn’t be a huge change from what I’m used to.”

What does it meant to you to have a sponsor like Pizza Ranch come on board to sponsor this race and several races next year with you?

“It’s really remarkable.  I’m just a rookie and to have a company like Pizza Ranch come on board with me is amazing.  I’m glad to be able to have the opportunity to represent them and hopefully we’ll give them a great race.”
