Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Bristol:

“After our weekend off, I’m ready to get back on track especially at one of my favorite tracks. We’ve had a lot of success at Bristol but keep coming up short one position. The key is to get your car turning through the center and being able to run both grooves. Like typical short track racing anything can happen, but if we can execute on pit road and stay out of trouble then we should leave Bristol with another strong finish.”
