Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Watkins Glen:
“We’ve definitely made improvements to our road course cars, so I’m looking forward to racing at Watkins Glen this weekend. Last year, we had a strong car, but I made a small mistake that caused us to spin. Pit strategy usually becomes a factor, which will be interesting with the stages. If we can stay out of trouble and keep our NESN Ford on track, I’m confident we can have a solid finish this weekend.”
